What a Week It's Been for the Hunts

WOW! I don't think I can make this into a story so point form it is:

• My sister-in-law Jodi went to the ER last Wednesday with abdominal pain and was admitted.
• Mom (Gramma) went to Calgary on Saturday to take care of the kids while Jodi was in the hospital and my brother Mark who does shift-type work (or something like that).
• Jodi has abdominal surgery pretty much at the same time as Mark was picking up my Mom at the airport.
• Jodi stayed in the hospital to rest until this Saturday.
• Saturday evening sometime, Mom "wrecked" her hip.
• Called (as with every other day to Calgary while Mom was there) on Sunday mid-day to see how things are going. Mom says, "Jodi is home and btw, I wrecked my hip, I think". And all I can say is "And WHY am I talking to you right now???? Why are you not at the hospital???" Next thing, Jodi calls to say she went.
• Mom was back in Vancouver on the same day and straight to VGH. Admitted in the wee hours of the morning - Thanks so much to Michelle and David for 24 hours of PURE patience and help!
• Our friend Imelda was returning from Rome via London on Sunday but she never arrived. Missed her flight (but that info was on Mom's answering machine which we couldn't access). Went back the next day to pick up up and to give her the play-by-play of the Mom situ.
• Mom is getting emergency hip surgery tomorrow afternoon sometime.

On a completely DIFFERENT note... I now am an agent for Lovable Labels. It's a Canadian company that specializes in keeping kids' belongings with the kids by labelling them in cool ways.

Our Little Family - Animated...

My friend Sheryl has had this really cute family stick-fig pic and I have since wanted to do the same thing for us. I found the site in no time. What fun it was to create our stick-figure family.

Thanks Sheryl for doing this first. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery/friendship that I know.

Here is a preview of our little fam.

We have been a little out of sorts of late. Lil'A has been under the weather.

Also, we've been dealing with Mom having her hip blow out. She's now having her surgery on Thursday. Please keep her in your thoughts.

She's at VGH and has her cell phone to talk to you. Apparently cells are now allowed in hospitals. Who knew?!?

If you need any more info on Mom, please just give me a call.
