Lots to update about today in this blog where I act like everyone in the world comes to read lol.
So I found out on Thursday that my niece was suffering from the same symptoms I had when I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Then on Sunday she was taken to the ER because she was getting worse. So that pretty much tore my weekend up because I couldn't stop worrying for her. She's so young to be having problems, but I see so much fast food come into my house I can see why. I've tried to talk to my parents and sister but they never listen to me about putting her on a healthier diet.
Moving on she had a colonoscopy today at 7:30 A.M. that I woke up to go to. I was on such little sleep because I stayed up writing. So she went through the procedure and they found a curable colitis, BUT she has to be on a certain diet to make sure it heals. I just hope for her that my parents/sister feed her properly. It upset me when I woke up from my nap to find a box of krispy kreme on the table, but I'm giving up trying to talk to my family. I never seem to get through.
I woke up from my 30 minute nap and went with my grandma and aunt to visit my grandfather's grave for veteran's day. I'm glad I went with them. I hadn't been in a while and it was good to be near him again. I miss him much. I always hear the Brad Paisley song "He didn't have to be" when I think about him, because he was my step grandfather. I leave the step out though because he was MY grandfather since the real one left the family. I love my Grandpa Lee Mertz and am glad to be named after him.
Needless to say it brightened up my day. Right now I'm listening to the new Taylor Swift album "Fearless". So far the album is good. The Brad Paisley album is awesome as well. Been listening to a ton of 5 selective artists. Jason Mraz, Brad Paisley, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Jimmy Eat World. Such big inspirations on my music and it's been keeping me positive and smiling through this tough week.
Well that's it for now. I'm going to play a show next month near Christmas time. Everyone can finally come out and hear Cid Fox finally. I'm sorry for the long delay, but I needed this year to grow and find my way in the music world. Have a great rest of your week and keep smiling.
Love
Cid Fox
My Beautiful Niece
Please keep your fingers crossed and pray for her. Hopefully she'll beat this colitis quick.
