Life just keeps getting…crazier

cmuller — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:48:08 +0000

Well not that all of you know but my brother was hit by a car about 5 weeks ago, it was rough for a while, his surgery was postponed, then he had complication during surgery (lost a lot of blood and had to have transfusions). Well he finally went home, started feeling better and looking forward to rehab and counting down the next 7 weeks. Well yesterday my sister-in-law, yes his wife, went riding (her bicycle, they both race) to relax and get out some stress and well, some jerk left his dog out loose (a dog known for biting and chasing people) and the dog ran after Cheryl and attacked her while riding. 911 was called, the blood was everywhere, the punctures (from several bites) were so deep they had to xray her to be sure no teeth were embedded in the leg. She now has the full radius of the dogs mouth clearly framed on her thigh. But here is the best part, the guy swears the dog is not his, even though he has a chain in the yard for him and a shelter and the dog ran right to him and he took it in the house after the incident…nice that is showing us kids how to act responsible. He was cited for dog at large and having a dog without vacinations, yes he has no shots…so it is a wait and see if the dog gets sick. He is in quarentine for 10 days and then his fate will be decided. The sad part is it really isn’t the dogs fault, it is those that choose to train them this way and then not retain them in the proper manner on top of it. So now we have 2 of them unable to get around and their 3 month old son, being so great through it all…so my other news will wait until next time as I take all this in, which all happened while I was away on my summer gym retreat. We did have a blast and I will post a pic or 2 to share with you…have a great day and I hope you come back to join us for the season….best to everyone.

Gym Girl back..sorry for the short break

cmuller — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:39:02 +0000

Sorry I have been away so long, between working 2 jobs, my brother’s accident and gym practice it has been a little crazy. My brother is doing

better, he had a bit of a setback, his staples got infected and they had to cut open his incision to drain the infection. The he had a hematoma

in his leg. He has his ups and downs with his emotions so we all work real hard to keep his spirits up. Gym has been going really well, working

on cutting my floor music with my mom, which I hope to get finialized this weekend. Been playing Chuckee at work lately, which is kind of fun.

Getting ready to register for public school, this will be the 1st time in a classroom in over 5 years, exited and a little nervous at the same time.

I also had some exciting news, I got a car, yeah, no more sharing with mom, which wasn’t so bad at least I had a car most of the time. But now

I have my own, and a very empty bank account to show for it. Well I will be back more often now that things are smoothing out at practice is

more intense. Have a question, just ask away and I will be sure to respond…have a great day and a great week.

Wow what a week…

My brother is still in the hospital due to bleeding complications he will need a blood transfusion, so we will have to wait and see what happens

over the next couple of days. He is holding on to his spirits and really looking forward to going home. His pain was really bad yesterday and for

some reason just didn’t get under control but he is much better today (as far as the pain in concerned). Once his blood count gets back to a safe

level, they will try to get him up again and get him using the crutches. I have some other news to tell as well, but that will have to wait until

tomorrow..stay well all

Surgery went well

cmuller — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:37:42 +0000

My brother’s surgery went very well, they say he should make a full recovery, although that will take a long time. He did have excessive bleeding

during the operation so they are going to be watching him real careful for the next 24 hours. He is in a lot of pain, but glad it is over and he can

now look towards the road to recovery. It was a long night as I stayed at the hospital with him, but it was good and I was able to be there when

he woke in the middle of the night and just needed someone to talk to. I am home for a little while and then going back to see him later tonight.

He needed some rest after the surgery. I will keep you posted on his progress and then back to focusing on gym and my skills, he would not

want me to loose any more gym time for this. Thank you everyone for their prayers and support.

A day at the Hospital

cmuller — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:57:29 +0000

I spent the day at the hospital with my brother Todd today awaiting his surgery, which was pushed off until tomorrow, Friday, June 26th. He

was in good spirits most of the day, although he says he is a bit scared about going under even more then the surgery. We watched Twilight, played

cards and just talked. He had a lot of visitors and got a lot of fruit baskets today, the chocolate covered strawberry’s were the best. They say that

he won’t be able to put any weight on his leg for about 10 weeks. I am glad that I will be able to be there for him like he was for me back when I

broke my leg. I will be spending the night at the hospital with him so that he is not alone, because Cheryl, his wife, has to be home with their son

Preston, who is only 12 weeks old. My mom and dad will be here tomorrow morning before the surgery as well as Cheryl and I. Thank you to

everyone who has visited and for all their well wishes…until tomorrow..have a good night. See his stories on these links.
