Title: Tiff on Maternity Leave
Post by: Eric Kelcher on May 07, 2004, 03:37:12 PM
Tiff has been placed on maternity leave starting today.  Although none of us expected it, we'd rather not take any chances.  As of now, mom and baby are fine and baby should still make its debut on time.  Tiff's taking it really hard, but I'm sure everything will work out just fine.  She says to tell you guys that she'll miss you and she's looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. Oh, and to give everyone this...

Well, I'm sure glad we all got to see her at Road America.  Tell her the Hustlers will be thinking about her with a little prayer and fingers crossed.

They are hiring a temp while she is out may have an intern from Chicago coming down, I am covering a couple things (like I be at Gateway this weekend to help out). It ended up being earlier than expected and she is glad to hear she is missed and I will try to update everyone on how she is doing and when we have the new model making public appearance.

Remember, Tiff.  No starting line theatrics.  Bring the revs up, watch the tip of the flag, let the clutch out slowly and smoothly while allowing a bit of slippage... :-* :-* :-*

Well....I tried to call and speak to Linda for several days now.  All I get is her voicemail.  I tried today, and she's out.  >:(

I need to pre-enter for the Firebird race but I have certificates to spend.  I don't know what to do. ???

I guess I'll have to do the website thing and then try to get reimbursed for the funds later.  I left her a long message on her voicemail, but she won't get that until Monday (if she even comes in then).

 :'(

I already miss Tiffiney.

Don't feel so bad...

I'm waiting for a refund from May of 2003.  Who do I have to know to get it taken care of?
Title: Re: Tiff on Maternity Leave
Post by: Eric Kelcher on May 18, 2004, 10:30:38 PM
Well thought I would update.

Everything looked good last week then Monday she went in for check up while I was driving back from St. Louis ( shouldn't have stopped for the night) and they wanted more tests done then decided to moniter for 24 hours. This morning doc said you are here for the duration so Tiff is in the hospital until delivery upto 7 weeks from now. I will post a number and address when I know but it will be Thursday before I can get back to a computer, or you can call me (214)577-3742 for info before then.

Man, that just thoroughly sucks.  I hope you've got some outstanding insurance.  Don't know what else to say, other than that you know the Hustlers will be thinking and praying for the three of you.  Call me if you need to vent.

Address for Tiff?

You guys are so sweet!  Thank you so much for all of your words of comfort and support--you'll never know how much it means to me.  Today is Day 7 of "The Standoff", and I'm beginning to realize that I'm actually in here for a reason.  The first few days I was like, "I'm not sick", but I'm figuring out that maybe, just maybe, these people with fancy degrees know what they're talking about.  My first trip out of the room was last night, and I was surprised to see how perspectives really change when you're holed up in what my opinion reminds me of a nice hotel room.  Leaving the room took a lot out of me, though, so I think it's back to Court TV and TLC for a while.  Everybody here is so nice and they're trying to make me feel as comfortable as possible.  Honestly, though, it is terribly difficult to be away from work.  I know, a lot of people would love a 7-week "break", but I really wanted to keep working.  I miss keeping up with you guys, and I'm hoping that my docs won't take the computer away for a while.  I'm sorry I can't be at any races for a while or be there to rag on you (or both), but I'm coming back just as soon as possible.  We're at 33 weeks and 5 days right now and baby is about 4 1/2 lbs.  We're trying to hold out until mid-June at the earliest, but either way as soon as the "new model" makes his or her entrance, y'all will be the first to know.  Until then, know that I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again and that you are all so great for thinking about me.

P.S.--Congrats on the beautiful new baby Yeski!

Love,
Tiffiney

I'm so glad you hopped on the board for a while.  Remember, you are in the best place possible for both you and the baby.  

Take comfort in knowing that you all are in our thoughts and prayers!

Dawn  ;)

P.S.  Mike, that is good news on your little girl.   :D

Hey Tiff!  Just got home from Hallett.  Went there for the 5 hour endurance with Lonny, Jerod and Mitch Stein.  Hallett 2 years ago was the first time we met you and Eric, so I was thinking hard about you both all weekend.  Take care of yourselves.  The world will get along without you for awhile.
BTW, we came in fourth in class! ;D

Thanks Tiff.  Ryan turned out to be a good baby and cute to boot (must get that from Dee).  

Everything that you're going through is worth it so hang in there.  Think of it this way...Dee and I had to do the fertility thing for both Cali and Ryan.  The things that they made us do  :o :o :o.  Even knowing what had to be done after having Cali, we still went ahead and had Ryan.  Kids bring new meaning to your life....and some other things too, but I'll let you figure that out after he/she arrives.  We can talk about it then ;D.

Take care of yourself and keep us informed.  Thanks for the updates Eric.

Tiffiney had our baby girl, Madison Grace, Saturday at 9:28 They are both doing great! The care they received over the last three weeks, the calls, flowers everything has been great for her/them both mentally and physically and it proved it with the addition to our family thank you all. Tiff and the baby should be released by mid week.

Oh her room has changed she is now in 205

Howdy everyone!  Thank you all so much for your support and prayers.  Maddie is doing great and I'm getting back to my old self, slowly but surely.  I'm still getting used to being back in the real world--did you know that life goes on without you?  It does!  I'm getting used to the smell of non-recirculated air and being able to go to the potty without assistance.  :)  Life is grand.
I'm looking forward to coming back to work and seeing everyone again.  Until then, everybody go have fun and I'll be rooting for you from here.
