Hi All,
Just touching base. Haven't read much but the last few pages.
Amy: So glad you are home safely. What a wonderful time you must have had. I really hope I can take Katie to NYC in a few years. I'll keep in touch with you about tips. BTW, I'm sure you hear it all the time, but you are absolutely beautiful (inside and out!). Great pictures!
Marshay: Keeping you in my thoughts! BTW my good friend went to the same SB'ing convention. I probably already mentioned that but I don't remember. I don't even really remember my daughter's name right now.
Everyone else: I'm still catching up so it's not that I'm not thinking of all of you, just no time to read. Thanks for posting about our miracle girl. She's really special.
Quick update:
We close on our current home Monday and on our new house on July 14th. Fast closing so lots of paperwork to submit in a short period of time. Movers come on the 9th. We'll be living with my in-laws from then until the 13th. Then around the 20th we'll go to be with my mom (wherever that may be). Long story there, but just don't go to Las Vegas and expect to get stellar medical care. There is a real crisis with healthcare in that city.
Our adoption date has been set for Tuesday! Another fast moving process all of a sudden with a few strings pulled to get it finished before we leave. What a relief!
Finally, I had a scary experience last Sunday at church. I was sitting there when all of a sudden I had double vision. I kept blinking to try to focus. Jeff asked what was wrong and I slurred out, "We have two bishops". He immediately said, "We're going to the ER, get up". My arms and legs were like lead and I just staggered around. He got me to the ER and I was feeling somewhat better, but still out of it. Turns out is is called a TIA (transient ischemic attack-sp?) It's like a mini stroke. They kept me overnight, took 20 vials of blood (Marshay, I know you know what that's like), gave me an MRI and an echocardiogram. Honestly, I really thought Bobbie's pneumonia was the last straw. Don't ever ask, "What else can happen?" You just might find out.
I'm fine now and just advised to try to reduce the stress in my life. When the stroke nurse said that I replied, "I'd love to. Would you suggest that I not deal with a move to WV? How about not dealing with my mother who has late stage cancer? Oh, perhaps I could just pretend that I'm not adopting a baby? Okey, dokey, right lady. You have no idea"
Anyway, thanks for always listening. I have a couple of things lined up for you as you fly by on the road trip. See you in a few days!
