Latest AILMENT...no surprise...it's David





So here are just a few pictures from our latest hospital stay. Exciting huh? I found David on the kitchen floor drenched in sweat. At first I wondered if it was another heart attack....or maybe a sugar low, who know's with him! I took him to the ER to be checked out and they put him in a room. After many doctors and many tests they found a bleeding ulcer, so David was simply BLEEDING TO DEATH without us knowing it! After the diagnosis, new medications, a few days, and 4 blood transfusions....he was able to come home. We are so glad he'll be ok. It will take him awhile to get his blood count back to where it should be, and for him to get his energy back, but that's much better than the alternative. My sister Mel and her husband Rick came down from Utah to help out and keep me company, I had foot surgery a month ago and at the time...was still having a little bit of trouble getting around. I loved spending time with my sister....I wish she lived closer. We are blessed to all be back at home and on the right track with our health....for now! We'll keep you posted on all of our wonderful happenings!
