Well I brought Bo home last night! He was so cute all night long, well at least until it was time for bed then he decided to get a little wild. He was awake about every hour and a half last night starting at mid-night. Then decided to finally fall asleep around 4:30, then I had to wake him up at 6:30, when I had to get up. I think I slept for a total of 3 solid hours last night, I kinda felt like a mom of a new baby this morning when I woke up. So far he has only had one accident inside. He has been lots of fun all day long. My brother brought his Boston Terrier home this weekend, so the two of them have been playing on and off all day.
Here Bo is sitting on my lap last night before going to bed.
Above his Bo in his Halloween costume. He is a U of M fan...how fitting! It didn't look as cute as I wanted. His whole outfit was too big for him. I got him a jersey, football hat, and the little scarf. The jersey was about 5 sizes to big for him. You can't really see the hat in the picture, but it has a block M on it. Once he grows into the hat a bit more I will post another picture. Sorry about how I look in this picture, I didn't know they were taking my picture as well. I don't usually have this expression on my face.In other news...
My Dad has his Cardiac Cath done today. Results were good. He does have some blockage in some of his arteries about 30-40% blocked, however the Dr. said with some life style changes such as diet and exercise and some modification in medicine he should be fine. The Dr. did say that Dad does have the start of Heart Disease, but that he caught it early enough, and with the proper monitoring he should be fine. Phew!
As soon as the Dr. came in to the room and told us the news I started to cry and I had to leave the room. I was crying partly because I was relieved that Dad was going to be fine, but I was also crying because I couldn't help but think that if any of the Dr's Shawn saw before he died had done their job the right way, he could have had this test done, had surgery and he would still be alive today! I would still have my husband with me! However because Dr's didn't do their job, I will never know.
Ok, well I think that is it for tonight. I wanted to update everyone on my Dad and show you some pictures of Bo. I will post more tomorrow. Tomorrow starts the 30 posts in 30 days, so I have to save things to talk about and gear up for all those posts.

Happy Halloween. Bo is darling and I am glad you got to bring him home. I am glad everything went well for your dad and he is going to be just fine. I understand how frustrating it can be to think if the doctors had only looked a little deeper or paid better attention things might be different. I am praying for you. :)
Oooohhh! As a big U of M fan, I lurrrve the costume (and of course, your puppy's name) ... Go Bo! Go Blue!
My heart goes out to you in regards to your Dad. It's tough to be in the hospital for a loved one, let alone so soon after the love of your life has passed on.
I've been lurking for a while, but just wanted to tell you how incredible STRONG a person you are. I think you're doing your hubby proud.
HUGS to you! And if I'm not mistaken, Happy Birthday to you too.
Hi Jen
I found your blog yesterday through Bring the Rain and I just sat & read it from start to finish. You have been on my heart & in my prayers since I read it. My heart breaks for all that you've been through over the last 2.5 months.
I pray for you that God will give you all the comfort and strength that you need as you get used to your new normal.
If I was there in person I would just give you a hug!!!
Instead I'll send a cyber hug all the way from England (would Shawn get a kick out of the fact you have a new blog reader 5000miles away?)
I will keep reading & praying for you & your family. I'm glad your Dad is ok!!
Happy birthday for tomorrow!

So glad you have Bo home with you finally!! And I love the costume.
And THRILLED to hear your dad news....see, hold onto the blessings that Shawn is still giving you & your family! Your dad could potentially have had his life saved!!! Thats amazing!
What a lucky pup little BO is!
Congrats!
Bo is precious!
I am happy to hear the good news about your Dad. I can see how it would bring you mixed emotions. You are such a strong person. You may not feel that way at times, but I admire you.
