darrel is still in the hospital, and we have no word yet on when he might be getting out. i was there all day today helping him out. since he is not in ICU anymore (they moved him last night), the nurses are not so quick to help him out when he rings his button. the shortest amount of time we spent waiting for a nurse was 30 mins, but most the time it's closer to 40 mins. he was not doing so hot today. they weened him from morphine cold turkey, and were trying different things to control pain. they did bring us the lovely wheelchair that we will be using for the next 3 months. i told darrel that he will have to push the stroller while i am pushing him if we want to go anywhere. he could push himself except for the fact that he only has limited use of one arm due to his previous shoulder injury in july. i really am not looking forward to the next 3 months, but i am so glad that we still have darrel with us.
now for the side note
my first "fall" weather i experienced when i first moved down here just made me laugh and make so much fun of people. as soon as the temperature gets below say 95 people start dressing like it's winter. the past few weeks it's been in the 80's and 90's and everywhere you go people have their long sleeve shirts and pants on. sometimes even sweaters on. well tonight as i was doing the laundry i was laughing to myself because i have fully turned into one of those people without even realizing it. all i have been dressing myself and the kids in are "fall" clothes because i think that they might be too cold when it's only going to be 92 outside. i was even getting excited earlier today to be able to wear one of my long sleeved shirts. i guess living here for 10+ years has done it to me. i am a wimp in cold (below 90) weather.

That is totally us too!! My kids and I have been wearing long pants for about a week and a half now! I don't know if it because were cold or more so because I am sooo sick of our summer clothes!!You know that black and white patterned dress we both got the girls at Target while we were in SLC? Well I put Hannah in it the other day with bare legs and her high black boots, sooo Cute!!!! I wish we lived by each other and we could have them wear it together and get pictures!! I have also noticed that people are wearing long sleeves and coats during the day! I guess we are used to extreme heat, that when it cools down somewhat were cold! Crazy!! So how are things going with Darre? We hope things go well and are praying for him to have a quick recovery!! I feel for you for the next 3 months, that is going to be so hard for you! I wish we lived by you so I could come help you out!! Tell Darrel "Hi" and that we are thinking of him! Take care of yourselves!
I know what you mean. I get really excited when my A/C doesn't come on before noon! Heck, I just might make myself a cup of hot cocoa!
