Whirlwinds

Do you ever just feel like putting a cereal box over your head and pretending life isn't a whirlwind???  Oh, by the way, that's my dear friend Mary Grace who will kill me for using this picture, but it best describes how I feel!  Anyway, don't you think she looks cute with a cereal box on her head???

The past few days have been like a movie in fast forward.  Mama's sick,  so Friday I was off to take her to get a chest x ray so we'd be sure she didn't have pneumonia with the weekend coming.  As we were driving, I got a phone call from my son's dad saying he had been taken to the ER from his job and they thought he was having a stroke!

That was the longest x ray appointment!  I got mama back home and flew off to the hospital across town (we live in a small town).  Thankfully by the time I arrived, they had him stable.  They actually had the crash cart and were fixing to shock his heart to get it back in to normal rhythmn.   The doctor in the ER said he has SVT (Supraventricular tachacardia) or episodes of the heart beating way to fast.  Any of you who read MckMama's blog will know that's what her baby Stellan has.  I don't think David's is anywhere near that bad.

They found a medication that reverted  his heart into a normal rhythmn.  
As he was being discharged, the hospital doctor said he has to see a cardiologist sooner rather than later.
He doesn't have insurance!  But that will all work out.

Oh, yea, he can't go back to work until he gets clearance from a cardiologist, so he'll have no money and no insurance.  What a combination! But that will all work out.

The weekend went by so fast I can't recall much of it except we did have a wonderful church service.

There was a funny little thing that happened at church....without explaining or getting into theology, our denomination baptizes infants.  We were having the baptism of a 2 and 4 year old.  After the questions had all been asked and answered by the parents and the preacher was actually baptizing them, the little girl,2, was fine with it.....but when he poured water on the 4 year old boy's head, the little boy said Hey you got water on my clothes.  To which without a pause, the preacher said You oughta see what the Baptists do!  I thought I would roll out of my pew.

 Before I knew it the days were blowing by and it is already Tuesday!  So today my younger brother had his second complete hip replacement.  He did fine, but tonight he is in a LOT of pain. 

It's good to catch up with you all and please pray David gets the right doctor and gets this under control!
Thanks guys!
