Well...........same song, different verse.....I had to spend another week in the hospital trying to get this afib condition under control.  On the 6th day  (October 2) I was to be cardioverted early in the morning....we get down to the lab where the cardioversions take place, they start hooking me up to monitors and the  nurse looks at me and says...Well, you are not in afib..there's nothing for us to do.
what a relief...found out my heart had converted back to normal sinus rhythm during the night.  So I was sent home...... but not without making preparations for a catheter ablation to be done on November 3rd.    I have to go sometime this week and have bloodwork done. Three days before this procedure  I take my last Xarelto.(bloodthinner) Two days before i have to give myself injections for a bloodthinner twice a day.....the day before i have to report to the lab and have a TEE (transesophogeal echocardiogram) and a CT Scan to evaluate the heart's anatomy to see where the ablation needs to take place.  Kinda scary, but if this is what is needed then I pray God guides the Dr's hands and mind as to what to do to take care of this.  After procedure,  I get to spend 4 to 6 hours laying completely still...hopefully i am out of it enough that i don't get fidgety.....After spending 2 nights in hospital, I get to come home. 
Now on to the title of this post.....A couple weeks ago the boy's mom had given them their bath before they were about to leave our house.  They were putting on their pj's and Braedy said something...I asked him to repeat it and out came "woodchips".  I asked him what that meant and he said he had thought of a word that he could say when he was upset that would not get him into trouble.  I asked how he came up with that particular word and he said...."well P-Pa cuts wood and I like chips so I put them together"..................we all laughed so hard.  That is genius of a 4 1/2 year old.  We were very impressed........  I have told friends of mine and they love it. 
The boys are loving Pre-K.  They come home singing songs and telling us what they are learning.  It is so fun and rewarding as we watch them react to their learning experience.
Even Ni-maw is learning from them..............
You are never too old to learn..................Ritzywife out.............................
