Update on Everything...

I love this picture!!! I took it just after I turned out the light and Evan was crawling in bed and I took a picture with the flash on. I just have to smile when I see this picture.



Well it has been another hectic couple of days for me and Evan.

Monday passed without any problems and we were very grateful. On Tuesday at around 11:20 we got a call from my father and were told my mom was going to be flown out from Globe to Phoenix. While driving to her doctor's appointment, during her lunch hour, she started feeling funny. When she got to the doctor's office she asked if she could be seen sooner because something was feeling right. She sat down in the waiting room and began to feel worse. She went back up to the counter and by then she had symptoms of a droopy face and slurred speech. These symptoms can be signs of a stroke. They called the EMT's and when they arrived they decided they thought it could be a stroke so they were going to fly her out. Evan and I got off work early and headed down to Mesa. They had taken my mom to Banner Baywood. When we got there she was still in the ER. They did and exam and blood tests but hadn't found anything. The doctor's admitted her and placed her in the Stroke Unit. They didn't do any tests while we were there but later that night they did several tests. On Wednesday they still didn't know what was going on. The doctor's decided that they were going to keep her another day and preform some more tests. She is doing fine and just wished they would find what was going on.

This morning my friend Christina's sister-in-law Dorinda passed away. She had been sick for about six years with scleroderma. She was in the hospital for three weeks and recently transfered to UCLA for a lung transfer. She wasn't well enough for a lung transplant and over the last few days her health deteriorated rapidly. Both of her lungs developed tears and collapsed. Dorinda's husband is not doing so well and is really taking it hard.

Our last couple of weeks have been really stressful on us both and we hope that soon we will be able to relax. We both have a vacation coming up and will take the time to relax then.
