Ready to Rest

 Sheena's colt Loxley was not doing well this morning. I got over at 6:00 am and he didn't want to get up and seemed cold. I finally got him up and very slowly he followed Sheena to the tree. He was given 2 cc's of banimine under his tongue then the iv started. When Mike came out we decided he had to call Dr. Hoerr as even with the banimine and iv he would not nurse and didn't pick up. Dr. Hoerr came out, ran blood work and found that his kidneys were not working, he was hypothermic and critical. Mike took him to the clinic and after a few hours Mike sent the picture below.

He was NURSING! Mike called to report he has a good chance now of making it but will have to stay in the hospital stall for a couple days.  Mark and I were on our way to Branson. We packed the truck this morning but got later start than expected so didn't arrive until 5:30 pm. Sarah and Nolan were in charge of dinner tonight and had a very nice dinner and dessert waiting for us. The truck was unloaded and thankfully we found room for all the food. The house is nice. The grandkids were thrilled to show me their rooms.

The downstairs has 2 bunk rooms, one for the girls and one for the boys, a living area and another master bedroom for Ben and Taunya. There are bathrooms off the bunk rooms and Ben and Taunya's room and a laundry with washer and dryer. There is a living area with an ice maker and a small fridge, and a table and chairs for games  There is also a balcony with fun and comfortable furniture off that level.

The rockers swivel and can really twirl fast. On the main level there are two master bedrooms each with a king bed and each has it's own bathroom. The living room is not quite as large as I thought but works as it is open to the kitchen area which seats 26. There is also a washer and  dryer on the main level. The grandkids are loving the parking lot. It is somewhat level with nice cement for scooters, a climbing cliff on the side away from the house with woods and hills for playing cowboys and Indians. Below are just a few pictures of that, 

I took some videos but those will need to be posted once home from vacation as this computer doesn't have a video maker on it. We also have a balcony off the main floor kitchen that over looks one of the pools and we can see the lake from there. Braelyn brought her nail kit and gave manicures out on that balcony.

After supper we rested and visited in the living area on the main floor.

The upstairs level has 2 master suits each with king beds plus a hide-a-bed couch and an attached bathroom. Phil, Ben and Nolan left to find the right dock then the slip for the boat we are picking up tomorrow morning. The walk down to the lake is easy but coming back up the hill is a workout. We will get plenty of exercise this week. I'm thankful to be here and more than ready to rest.
