Sorry it has taken me so long to update! We've just had a busy couple days and this is the first time I've had to sit down at the computer!
David's suergery went wonderfully; they are still working on analyzing the culture from the infection to find out the exact type of antibiotics he'll need. He will most likely be on IV antibiotics for a month! Yuck! He's feeling well though and ready to come home! Hopefully today or tomorrow. Please continue to pray for healing!
Olivia and I went to visit yesterday and he said it made his day. It's never fun to haul a small child somewhere there isn't a lot of space to play, but she did wonderful, and I was glad we went to see how happy he was to see her.

Prayers for David
Please pray for my brother in law, David. He was admitted to Abbott on Monday evening due to an ear infection spreading into his bone. It was very scary at first because the doctors were concerned that the infection may also have spread into his brain. It did not, and for this we are very thankful.
He does have to have surgery this morning to remove the infection, and depending on the severity, some or all of the bone behind the ear (the mastoid). What he has is called mastoiditis and is very rare, hence why it was not caught by the doctors 2 months ago when he initially went in for his ear infection!
Please pray that surgery goes well, for healing, and for a safe recovery. There is also a chance he could lose some of his hearing in that ear, please pray that there is none or minimal lose.
Thank you!

Back to my amazing talent...
Well 12 to 3 odds are that you can't close your nose flaps/globules. I guess the 3 of us who can are the lucky ones! :)

oh geez....
So last night Olivia split her lip open. Don't ask me how because I don't know. She was sitting playing and all of a sudden screaming with blood running down her face. I looked for the culprit toy, but none showed themselves. Who knows. She was fine after some ice, although her lip looks not so cute today. I tried to get a picture, but have been unsucessful.
Then this morning, Olivia escaped to the kitchen for literally 30 sec. and when I came to get her she had been digging in the garbage. Gross. You want to know what was even grosser? When she turned around she was chewing on something. You want to know what's even grosser than that? It was the wrapper from our meat last night. OOOHHHHHH ISHHHHHHH. And a little scary, she could get like salimonela (I don't know how to spell this or the energy to try!) or e coli! So I washed her lips and hands, and just said a little prayer. I mean, really, what else is there to do!
I hope the day improves from here. :)

Twins & Nose globules
What a great time last night! Ryan and I went on a double date with our friends, Bridgit & Nate, to the Old Spaghetti Factory and then to the Twins game. Probably the most boring game in the history of baseball, play wise, but I really didn't watch much of the game.
I spent, oh I'd say, 104% of the time talking with my BFFOIKYA Bridgit--it was totally the only reason I was there. So much fun!!! Bridgit and I have been BFF's since the first day of Kindergarten...I got on the bus, much anticipating my first day of school and looking forward to meeting the little girl my dad had told me about. I saw her sitting in the front seat and I said, "Are you the little Bergloff girl that lived down the chicken barn road?". That did it! We have been BFF's ever since! :)
In reference to my latest poll...sometimes I don't know where conversations originate from between Bridgit and myself, but they are always interesting! So last night as we are sitting there, the hot dog vendor comes by. I hate hot dogs, and I particularly hate the way they smell. So does Bridgit. And this was our conversation (I may be paraphrasing a bit):
Ehlan: "I'm so thankful I have this amazing talent to plug my nose without having to physically plug it with my hands."
Bridgit: "What's so amazing about that, I can do it, can't everyone?
Ehlan: "No! They can't! I have (oddly enough) had many conversations with people about this topic and most people have NO idea what I am talking about or ANY idea of how to do it! Ryan can't do it!"
Bridgit: "I wish I could ask Nate right now if he could do it." (He was sitting at the opposite end of the row from her)
Ehlan: "Just lean over and ask him."
Bridgit: (eye rolling) "No, I'll just wait, he'd probably get annoyed!"
Ehlan: "okay. Suit yourself. Do you want me to play telephone through Ryan and ask him?"
Bridgit: (more eye rolling) "No."
The rest of the conversation involved a lengthy discussion of what we actually do when we plug our noses without using our hands and deciding upon a name for this amazing talent. Bridgit likes "globules"...I like just "closing your nose flaps". So, I decided it would be an interesting poll. How many of you can close your globules or nose flaps?
If you don't know what I am talking about, you probably can't do it. :)

Crushed dreams
I've been looking forward to starting Parent/Tot gymnastics classes with Olivia since she was 8 months old and a new gym opened up in Isanti. They started these classes at 18 mos. old! I was thrilled. Then they transferred owners. No more classes at 18 mos. They have to be 2. That leaves me with 11 months left to wait...
The perfect evening...
Thursday nights I work until 7 pm. It gets a little late, but last night was just what I needed. When I arrived home, Olivia was exhausted (but still happy!) and ready for bed. I got her all bottled-up and snuggled-in ASLEEP by 7:30... time for dinner. The dinner part wasn't so perfect as I really need to go grocery shopping, but oh well...food it was. Finished with dinner just in time for THE OFFICE. Just love it, just LOVE IT! And I topped it off with the best part of my evening--I rented a move JUST FOR ME! Why you ask? Because I was home alone!! (Well, Olivia asleep upstairs, but I don't count that!!) So I watched the movie Juno--have you seen it? It's fantastic; I laughed, I cried...and I finished it REALLY wanting to be pregnant again! ;)
So where was Ryan? Well, you may think that my wonderful night does not compare to his lucky week! On Tuesday he came home with 4 free Twins tickets, which we will be using tonight with our fantastic friends Bridgit (my BFFOIKYA) & Nate. Then on Wednesday, he came home with 2 free Wild playoff tickets for last night! I, generously might I add, gave up my ticket so he could take his brother David. Wasn't that nice of me? Really I just was looking forward to a night on my own! No offense to my wonderful husband, but isn't a night all by yourself just what the Dr. orders sometimes?
Fantastic!
