My Mom stayed in the hospital all weekend. She sees the doctor tomorrow before she goes home. They say she had a blood clot that most likely started in her leg and made it’s way to her lungs. Apparently she did not have a CAT scan, just some tests to check her blood flow.

My Mom is doing ok. They got her heart in a regular rhythm before they left Lincoln, but once they got to Springfield, they found enlarged arteries around her lungs. Her echo was clear, but they are keeping her overnight and doing a CAT scan. We should know more tomorrow.
My Dad took my Mom into the ER this morning. She wasn’t feeling well and her blood pressure was high. They ran some tests at the hospital and found she had an irregular heartbeat, so they sent her off to Springfield to see a cardiologist. That’s all I know for now. I’ll keep this updated [...]
(9/11/08) After I dropped Caleb off at school today I headed to a Kaldi´s to do some reading, writing and connecting. I´ve got some networking meetings today that will hopefully pan out into some good connections.
I think that is the key; being connected. The more people you know and can contact, the better your [...]
last thursday, i was let go from my job. the housing market finally took me as a downsizing victim. so, i´ll have a little time off. some of you know that we had an offer accepted on a house and were about 3 weeks away from closing. we will not be closing that soon, but [...]
today andy and i woke up early in order to get things ready for… caleb’s first day as a little pelican. he started preschool today and we started some new traditions. andy made his famous pancake breakfast with his yummy scrambled eggs. we served caleb’s breakfast on our “you are special today” plate to make [...]
the kiddos and i ventured out to kohls the other day since i had a $10 gift card and we needed to get some fall clothes for caleb. i have to say up front that this outing was particularly chaotic. my double stroller’s wheel is about to fall off and it made for difficult maneuvering [...]
We’ve been running in a bunch of directions lately. From fishing, to weddings, to work, to kids there has been a ton going on with us in the last month or so. We really do need to do a better job of keep everyone updated. I will start here by listing a couple things and [...]
last night we went to our usual spot to watch some “pre-4th of july” fireworks. andy’s parents came along and we ended up seeing some good friends there too. after it stopped raining on us, we let caleb loose to play with the other kids. mostly it was older boys, i would say 7-10 years [...]
Kristie´s dad, Phil, and I took Caleb fishing today at Castlewood State Park. We found a little spot with some deep water and tossed in our lures. A little hot dog on the hook and we had plenty of bites, trouble was the size of the fish. The water was shallow and clear enough that [...]
it was a long drive back from Moline, IL yesterday. i think we stopped 3 times, twice to feed Ansley and once for gas. it felt like forever.
we had a really good time this weekend though. the hotel room was really nice and Caleb and Emmry loved the pool. you could swim from [...]
