He's with me in the fire!

Since I last wrote some big things have happened. On March 11th I had open heart surgery. I now have two mechanical valves and a metal ring around a third valve. I can constantly hear a "click,click"! I think Keeley likes the rhythm. Here are some more pics of our pride and joy as well as some updated pics of the house. It is coming along, slowly but surely.



Here's Denny and his little girl. He's such a good Daddy!

Here's our friend Samuel Holzbach who asked his Mom and Dad if he could wear cologne before he met Keeley for the first time. How cute!!!

Our back porch. Denny has built it up many inches before he pours. It's going to be a huge patio.

Our living room. Obviously the fire place isn't finished. We still need to pick our the rock for it.

This is out kitchen table that I fell in love with. I really like the bench seat.

Keeley's room! Again, it's still all coming together.





Here's our laundry room. We still need some shelves and a counter top to finish it out.

Here's our master shower. I absolutely love it. It's huge!!!!




Double sinks. Lots of space.

Nice sizable walk in closet.

Our good friend Chris and Shanon came for dinner one night and enjoyed our little Keeley. They helped get my mind off my surgery date.

Don, Mike L., Mike C., Pat and Denny all worked on finishing the last part of the driveway, so we can now park up to 6 cars on it.

Before my surgery, I was able to fit in 2 showers for Keeley. I don't know when else I would of done them. We were blessed beyong measure. Thank you all for your gifts.




Papa Larry wanted to be the first to buy Keeley a pair of genuine Levi overalls. Very cute!!!

Our friend Nancy made some great wash cloths to bathe Keeley with. What a great idea!! They have matching towels with hoods.






This picture was taken the night before my surgery.

Here I am hours after my surgery. This heart pillow is given to open heart surgery patients to help them cough, sneeze and move. For the first week it never left my sight.






This is my Cardiologist of 13 years. What's funny is I have no recolection of the first 3 days of my surgery. I don't remember this visit at all. Drugs are scary.

Papa Brian, Bama Robann came to visit on Easter. Papa Brian soothed Keeley to sleep.








In between my nauseous spells I held my little princess.

I spent much of my last week in the hospital in this nauseous state. The medicine that stops the VT also makes you sick until it builds up in your system. Again, drugs are scary!!

Finally home for 4 weeks of antibiotic treatment and then back to the hospital to get my defibulator put in. Then I can really get on the road to recovery!

Thanks for watching our blog. Thank you for your prayers. It's been a trying time, but he walks with us in the fire and when we walk out, we won't even smell like smoke!!!

Love you all,

Denny and Angie:)
