YEAH!!! It´s Friday!!

It´s been another busy and eventful week. 


Sunday afternoon I was out looking at an apartment with my old lady friend. She had been offered an  apartment while I was in Ireland and was not sure what to do. The apartment is situated in a nursing home and here she would get the care she needs so we went to see it. However it is a really hard decision for her to make as she really doesn´t want to leave her home. Ummmhhhh she has a lot to think about.

Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) Andrew woke Kristian and me at 2 am!! "Mum and Dad I have something to tell you." he said. "I think I have a bad heart!"  Kristian and I were totally confused. What was he on about?! Well, he went on to explain that his heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to come out of his chest and that he was finding it hard to breathe. He went on to tell us that he had had this on and off for about a month but hadn´t thought so much about it because it went away rather quickly. However on Tuesday evening it was lasting a long time and it was more extreme than before. 


We rang the doctor and got an appointment for Wednesday, mid morning. We also discovered that he had high blood pressure. So Wednesday he went to the doctors. 


They discovered that there is something abnormal. One of his heart chambers (atria) is enlarged. They also talked about there maybe being a blockage of some kind. He has to have everything checked out, so he is going to a heart specialist on the 15th March for a thorough check up.  I am taking this as a good sign. Since he has to wait until the 15th March they must not think it is something that needs to be dealt with here and now, so maybe it´s not as serious as it first sounds. He also got some blood tests done. The results came back today and they are all normal. 

Wednesday afternoon, after work  I was off to play "granny".  I was looking after my friend Jette´s children. She had to go to a meeting and so I had a few hours alone with them. They were just so cute and I had a wonderful afternoon. We drew pictures, read books, danced, made popcorn, and played a vet - were I was the vet and they came with all their sick toy animals.(Now that was fun!) Before long Jette was back again and I had to get home to make dinner for the rest of my family. Hope I get to play granny again sometime soon!I just LOVED it!

Thursday I was back seeing my old lady friend. She still hasn´t decided about the apartment. Then it was back to work on Thursday evening for a 3 hour meeting !!! But I must admit it was a good meeting and the 3 hours flew by.


Friday - finally Friday and it´s weekend! Leah is away to the youth club in the church and is spending the night with one of the girls. Tomorrow they have an all day gospel workshop to attend with her choir. Sara has her friend Nanna here. She will stay the night. Andrew and the two girls are having a blast together, they are making a scary movie and it is hilarious to sit and listen to them plan and film things! 

Funny thing just happened. I was sitting in the living room talking to dad over skype. The kids had been outside filming and they came in - what a lot of noise they made, so I moved into Sara´s room so I could talk to dad in peace. No one saw me leave and so Sara suddenly came waltzing into her room and got the shock of her life! It was sooo funny. She was NOT expecting anyone to be sitting on her bed and when she came in and saw me you should have seen her face! A complete look of horror crossed it and she ran out!! (I know it´s Friday evening but I didn´t think I looked that bad! haha) I laughed soooo much. Sara on the other hand had to run to the bathroom and a new pair of underpants were needed. Serves her right for making a scary movie!! haha
