Lolly said...

Whoa! Survived the split!

Again....nite all!

hedgie said...

Mits, do you think that menu is tongue-in-cheek? Can't imagine that he would really feed some of that stuff to the poor animals..,.argh! Can understand neighbors' concerns...sure they are MULTIPLE concerns....townhouse location is hardly a nature preserve!!

hedgie said...

G'nite, Lolly...and Jack!

hedgie said...

Heading for tub...will check back in before I hit the hay.

Mits said...

yes, Lynn, I do, and I would not like to live next to him, I would think the rodents would come around, can't imagine the neighbors, not putting up a stick about the stink.

Costume Lady said...

Our dear Jo...what has she done?!
Those @#$*!! rugs! I hope she has been given something VERY strong for pain. And, I hope she is in a room and NOT in a hallway! Right, Sharon?

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
SPECIAL PRAYER FOR JO:
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud...and he shall hear my voice. Psalm 55:17

Mits said...

looks like a snowy or foggy day in Finland.

deb said...

it is nice to see the Finny nest again, even if the weather has been awful there. i want blue skies and pretty water again!

deb said...

I am off to bed, TTUT

Jo, I hope you are sleeping well tonight. (Hugs)

Mits said...

love that cam...our eagle is sound asleep

Mits said...

hope LW and Kent come back online soon

Mits said...

I know she is a night owl..hoot-hoot...I'm headed to bed soon too. I will let you all know when Ed calls me tomorrow about how Jo is doing. I know she does not like to speak on the phone, because it is so hard for her to hear, and I'm sure it is really hard for her to reach the phone, if she is in some kind of traction. So Ed has all my numbers, he is really good about calling. Good Night everyone. Dear Lord, watch over our Jo.

hedgie said...

Goodnight all. Thanks, Mits...will be anxious to hear what's happening in the morning. Prayers for all in need, but especially for our Jo.

magpie said...

My Prayers are in the Ring too, for Jo and family,
and my thanks to Hedgie for calling and leaving me a message so I wouldn't be blind-sided by the news...
Prayers for relief, comfort, and healing, and skilled hands and a loving touch from all the health care providers....

God Bless You, Jo and Family.

magpie said...

..And if OUR EGGLETS start hatching while Jo is in the hospital, we are going to make sure we get a laptop to her so she can enjoy it too...

magpie said...

Good prayers here -
love the verses from Psalm 55, Wanda

God Bless Us Every One, and especially our Jo and her family

And thanks to Paula for making sure we got the Jo "Sign-Off" xo

magpie said...

Deb I know you might be snoozing, but if not, or when not, check the BWO site page, and see where there was a Great Horned Owl at the platform Wednesday, with two pictures....

movin said...

Wow................. I'm really sorry to hear about Mema Jo's fall. I'll be praying for her too.

Guess you have seen the 'Gallery' at BWE. Their chicks are unusually cute already, and you can barely see them.

Been watching Pete's Pond a little... Impala, wart hogs and King Fishers so far. The water level is getting fairly low there; they should probably do a rain dance about now.

Lord ease her pain and let the ones helping her be YOUR HANDS lord.

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning all. I am in Bedford and getting ready to hit the dusty trail towards Charlottesville.

My heart is so heavy thinking about our Mema Jo having to go through all of this but I do know the power of prayer that comes from this blog!!

Will let you all know how it turns out. Appointment is at 9:30.

wvgal_dana said...

Safe travels Sharon and best of luck...hope they are REALLY happy with the healing.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Hope Sharon can give us GOOD news, today and that Jo can get her surgery over with sucessfully and be on her way to healing as soon as possible.
Lord, watch over the both of them and let their pain and suffering come to an end. Amen

wvgal_dana said...

AMEN

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Good morning eagle friends. I will be lurking around today, in Falls Mills with mil today.

Prayers for our precious Mema Jo!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Please don't shoot me! Mits would you send me the HI links again? I don't have them on this computer. I know I am a pain, sorry!!

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Ok, I just spoke with our Mema Jo. Here is the scoop.

Her tibia and fibula on her left leg is broken. They have a splint on it for right now. I asked if she was in pain and she said "no, they are giving me Percocet". :) They will enter under her kneecap and run a rod through her tibia. They are not going to repair the fibula. She sounded really good and told me to let you all know what was happening. Surgery is still scheduled at noon.

Ok, now I really am hitting the dusty trail. Will check in with my good news in a few hours! :)

floralgirl said...

Hey Sissy! Look at 10:27pm post- Deb put up the links for HI

wvgal_dana said...

THANKS SHARON for update on our sweet Mema Jo..Lord take care of and be the HANDS OF THE SURGEON.

Mauley said...

Many Many prayers for Mema Jo. I, too began my day with prayers for her. She first brought me into the fold (oh so graciously) and has kept me under her wing (as to speak). Mema, you have ministered to all of us some time or another and in the name of our precious Lord. We love you so much, and we know that God does little outside of prayer, and so we offer our prayers for you daily and hourly as you have done for us many times. God Bless You, dear Jo, today in the name of the Great Physician, our Healer, our Waymaker, and our Lord. mauley

Red said...

Good morning everyone. So sad to hear about our Mema Jo. Prayers are with her today and Sharon.

hedgie said...

Thanks for that update on Jo, Sharon. Did she sound loopy from the percocet? Can't believe they aren't giving her something IM...but maybe they are worried that morphine would depress her respiratory status worse. Don't remember whether Demerol has that effect or not. Bone pain is just so awful! Prayers continue for Jo, as well as for you for good news at UVA!

hedgie said...

Paula.....did you send the email about Jo to Steve and Randy?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Ok, got it, thanks ya'll. I will have that page bookmarked on every computer in the county sooner or later. Move around too much!!

glo said...

Lots of Prayers for Mema Jo, safe travles and good news for Sharon.Off to coffee and dog treats for me and Dex.

Mits said...

Good Morning everyone...

Mits said...

Lynn, I e-mailed Steve last night, for him to pass on the news to NCTC, especially Thelma.

Red said...

Norma, I had a very good report on my heart. Now if I could just get my breathing fixed but after 55 years of smoking I don't expect too much there. I have been off the cigs for over 18 months now but COPD is permanent.

floralgirl said...

That's good news, Red- and 18 months with no cigs is great:)

hedgie said...

Thanks, Mits!

deb said...

Good morning, everyone. It is going to be beautiful here today. High is supposed to be 63.

Thanks, Sharon, for the update on Jo. I hope your appointment is going well.

Margy, those are great pictures of the Great-horned Owl.

normabyrd said...

RED!---I QUIT several years ago & have the same disease!!----Feel you pain!---Dr. assures me --- I can continue to live a healthy life----

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Sun is coming up at HI. Those white heads almost glow in the dark!! So beautiful. I am gonna lurk today and try to stay on task at work but I am watching the blog in my email. Ya'll holler if you here anything about Mema Jo or if anything else exciting happens. Babies any day now!

Mits said...

HI weather...

41°F
Wind: NW at 32 mph
Humidity: 65%

Mits said...

waves are really rolling in there.

hedgie said...

Norma and Red..,.me,too! You may not know but in addition to COPD/emphysema, I am also an almost 4 yr. survivor of lung cancer.

deb said...

That wind is really strong at HI.

hedgie said...

Hey, Margy...see where Hagerstown bank robber was arrested in a building near yours, and her 16 y.o. was arrested at the high school! Wonder where they hid the loot???LOL!

deb said...

I saw this article about a Golden Eagle and a semi--the eagle survived!

Eagle vs. semi

Mits said...

Lynn, was the 16 yr old part of the robbery?

Mits said...

looks like feeding at BWE

Mits said...

never mind...feeding is over.

deb said...

We had an empty nest for one refresh!

hedgie said...

Yes, Helen...facing same charges as the mother: "robbery, armed robbery and other offenses". Mother should also be charged w/ contributing to the delinquency and child neglect/abuse! JMHO.

Mits said...

why would you do that to your child....?

Mits said...

that poor eagle, Deb:(...could have been a lot worse, glad the guys are ok.

hedgie said...

OMG, Deb. What a lucky bird, not to mention the drivers! Sure hope the eagle doesn't have a concussion.

Mits said...

calm day up in Maine

hedgie said...

I don't know, Mits...hear aboutthat kind of thing or similar alot......teaching kids to be pickpockets, or using kids as a ruse to distract clerks for shoplifting purposes....just awful!

Mits said...

some people should not be parents:(jmho

deb said...

Strollers and baby carriers are places where shoplifters would often stash stuff. They must think that the store security people don't know that, or won't stop them if they have a baby.

Red said...

BRS had an early start this morning. He's almost to Dallas. I know he was on the road at 5:30 Central time.

hedgie said...

Early bird gets the worm, Red! Wonder if he ever got his steak??

magpie said...

Good Morning Eagle ♀ and ♂ Friends.

Thanks Mits and Sharon for the updates on Jo...

Sharon should be getting her review now, and a little more time to go for Jo's operation. Strong prayers for all involved in everything that is going on, especially Sharon and Jo and the health care providers in charge of their healing.

magpie said...

The BWE babies and parents get a whole week of our attention, but when OUR little ones start pipping and popping....that just might change a little ☺ ♥

Hope everyone here has a good day in store, or as Paula would say, can MAKE a good day....

magpie said...

Hedgie
What address in my neighborhood, work or home address? ref the robbery suspects

The crime in this area is unbelievable. I am wondering if the Fertilizer Thief from the Southern States in Frederick MD from earlier this week has been found ??

magpie said...

I am going to try to cut and paste our well wishes to Jo onto a word document and send them to Jo...

Mits said...

just got a call from Miss Jo-Ellen, she sounds good just anxious for this to be done with, said she or Ed would call me later. No new baby yet said her GD was mad that Jo got to go to the hospital before she did, but everything is OK on that front...said she is pleased with the hospital treatment so far.

magpie said...

And we are heading towards a Quintiple Split...at least Jo does not have to fuss with that today...
Bless her Heart! What a calamity this is, she is such an active Momster. Now we can try to show her how well she has mentored to us ☺ ♥

floralgirl said...

Great, thanks, Helen. Can't you just picture her bossing the Drs and nurses around?? LOL... hope she doesn't have that eagle cane.

deb said...

Thanks for the info, Mits. Did Jo know how long she might have to be in the hospital??

Mits said...

now just waiting to hear from Sharon.

magpie said...

Thank you for the update, Momma Mits - xo


and I guess that would be Quintuple split...

magpie said...

H Ha good one Megan -
Hope she does have that Eagle Cane

Mits said...

she is not sure Deb, could be as early as tomorrow night or Saturday, but MTBR on that.......trust me, Megan, she was bossing me around this a.m. She said they may use an epidural on her, instead of anesthesia

Mits said...

Steve, did reply to my email, that thoughts and prayers are going out to her from them.

hedgie said...

Margy...home...329! Haven't read anything about the fertilizer thief being apprehended yet!

hedgie said...

I agree, Jo SHOULD have her cane!
Wonder if she has any kind of internet access in the hospital, or if Ed uses the computer at home to print anything out for her?
I'm hoping they do an epidural.

magpie said...

Just before the Split:

Helen: Thank you for your caring service to the Lennox family and to all of us at this time

xo ☺ ♥

magpie said...

Hedgie

Does not surprise me. that address, is at the lower end of my avenue...there has been questionable activities there before.

Heading out, 91-year old gal pal wants to shop! Think she probably just wants to get out!

That weather forecast sure sounds like birthing weather to me for this week-end. Thanks for posting it, Mits

TTFN xoxo

deb said...

I kept waiting for the newer button to come up, we have a 100 to go before we split. :) I went right along with Magpie.

magpie said...

Whoops, can't spell, can't count, guess that would be WAX and not Split ! Ouch!



Hi Deb - that owl is awesome isn't it ? xo

magpie said...

Oh Boy - change over at OUR Nest...

deb said...

I am out of here, too. Two nice days, then more snow, I better enjoy it while I can. BBL

Lolly said...

Well drat! Lost my post..do not know what happened.

Lolly said...

Oh, yes, taught kindergarten many years. Retired early when Jack retired as I was so tired. I gave it my all, it was my life.

hedgie said...

We have so many poets!! Such fun. Enjoy your treks, Lolly and Jack and Deb and Margy.

Lolly said...

Posted 4 more pictures. We are off! Have a great day!

Prayers and more prayers for our Jo.

Mits said...

update from Saline....
We've made some large changes to the server overnight to try to get you the best image possible. We are now using an updated SDK and an updated mms server to provide the stream. In house testing shows a very clear image, but we still need the feedback from remote viewers!

FEEDBACK NEEDED ON THE NEW STREAM. EMAIL US WITH COMMENTS

Mits said...

sounds like Greek to me, but pic and sound are good:)

Mits said...

BRS made it to Grand Prairie Texas

hedgie said...

I don't see a link to email him, Mits...do you? Image is perfectly clear now.....wonder it will look like in the dark?

Mits said...

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Just talked to Sharon. She is still at the doctor's office, hasn't seen anyone yet but she is in an examining room. Hurry up and wait!!

Mits said...

when I talke to her, she was afraid she would be a little late...forgot to ask her, is she being seen by a real surgeon?

hedgie said...

Mits, one of the problems w/ a mini screen on the "netbook"....hard to get a full view!! TY!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Who knows?? Probably not, if the past is any indication. She is at Dr. Schermer's office (or everhow ya spell it). But home health said it looked really good, so maybe we are on the right road at least.

Mits said...

what a beautiful day at the nest:)

Costume Lady said...

Lolly is really doing well with her new lap top. I guess there is hope for me yet. I will pick her brain when she gets back home and see if she has any regrets. Sure doesn't sound like it:)

hedgie said...

Full sun here and at nest, for sure Not alot of warm-up yet....still 39 but hoping for higher temp! Belle--or Lib--looks comfy!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Sharon just called. They discontinued the wound vac, go to wet to dry dressing changes twice a day. She is healing nicely. It is a wonderful. I lost her right after she told me that. Don't know about follow up or anything else.

floralgirl said...

Great Sharon news:) thanks Sissy!
Now we just wait to hear about Jo.
It is a beautiful day here, sun is shining, 49°. It's 84° in the GH- so back to work for me-

Mits said...

she's off the antibiotics too:)

Mauley said...

I am praising God for our little Eagle Eye Sister. Good news for her today and it is wonderful. Praying for Mema Jo. donna

Mits said...

I just emailed Steve to give us a new thread if he gets a chance:)

hedgie said...

Good news for sure on Sharon--yippee!!!!Is she coming on home tonight or staying at Thelma's til morning?

Red said...

Nap time for me. Catch you later.

Mits said...

Mits said...

eagles eating at HI

hedgie said...

No blogging while driving, Shurnlea!!! We'll talk to you later today!! No longer a Hoover!!

Mits said...

Jo's daughter just posted this on momster mail....

Hi all, it is Jenny, Mema's daughter. The surgery won't be till 7:30 this evening. They will be giving her a epideral and only putting her slightly under. They felt with her breathing this would be the best way to do surgery. She did break both of her bones in her shin. They will be bolting a rod into her leg. The surgery should take about 2 hours. They have her on pain medication now....morphine if she needs it so she is doing fine now. I will let you all know later tonight how everything goes, at the latest tomorrow morning. Hope to see you all soon. Jenny

hedgie said...

Movin' Jim, are you going to be the nest watcher tonight?? 35th day starts around 2am our time...what? 11pm yours??

hedgie said...

Poor Jo, all this waiting is for the birds! (No pun intended)
So glad they are doing the epidural...I was worried about it just for that reason. Thanks, Jenny. Hugs to all of you.
