Happy Birthday!

To my wonderful brother.

I love you so much even though you are officially older than dirt...

Good Time in Calgary with the Kings...

The view from the the King's home. Overlooking Calgary.



Look from the Plus Fifteen system.

China Town.

Here are some more pictures. Bro. King drove us into Calgary downtown. We went into the shopping area to look around. An interesting thing in the Downtown area of Calgary is called,'Plus Fifteen'. There are enclosed walking bridges in between the building downtown, so in the winter the Calgarians can walk to different building without going outside.

Be Praying for Dad...

He is really feeling under the weather. He has a low grade temp and chills. I called the clinic and they called him in an antibiotic. He has continued to have UTI symptoms. The doctor wants him to see an Urologist which of course aggravated Dad to no end...

Mom sounds good today. She is ready to get home so she can take care of Dad. I hated to leave him to go to work but he said he'd be ok. I'll have the kids go by when they get off work.

Dad and I will go get Mama when I get off Monday morning.

Love you all!!!

As requested by my big bear...er, um, brother

Mom is doing better today. She had gone into Congestive Heart Failure, but she said she can breath much better today. I did not find out until yesterday but obviously Mom had been really laying on the pain meds. The nurses said she had been up wandering the halls disoriented. They also had to give her Narcan which reverses the effects of narcotics. I know when we went in one night they had a hard time getting her to wake up. They had to even do a sternal rub (for D'Ann). I was pretty upset to say the least.

Her feet are doing really well and I think when she does get up she is doing so without the pain that she had been having previously. Her kidney function is still not as it should be. They did an echocardiogram this morning and said her heart valve looked good, so that was a good sign.

Uncle Bud came to see her and that really did a lot for her. It was good to see him. He is looking really good. He called this morning and said they are hoping she can go home this weekend.

Dad is doing good. We are doing dialysis right now. He gets lost when Mama is not around. Uncle Bud couldn't believe how things are now.

Hope ya'll are having a good time and a well deserved break. Looking forward to my own in November. Love you all!!!

D'Ann, my poor baby, sick all by yourself. Aunt Sher loves you!!!

Vacation in Calgary

Sissy said, this is a picture of two bears. Whatever could she mean?

Sissy, Whit, and I are in Calgary with the Kings. Today we drove up into Banff and Lake Louise in the Rockies. Even though it was cloudy the grandeur of God was so evident.

Give me an update on Mom and Dad, please. I will be calling tomorrow sometime. I miss my other baby badly. I wish you were here Tidy.

Dad and Mom

Dad and I just got back from Jacksonville. We will have to go back on 10/22 for another carotid ultrasound and then see the doctor that afternoon. He said he can have the transplant even if he is 100% blocked, (technically) but he would recommend the surgery. It would not be stents, but surgery. So we will see

Mom was a little more with it today when I talked to her. She said she may get to go home next week with "a lot of restriction." I probably won't be able to see her again until Sunday because of Dad's dialysis and work. So she will probably have "poochie lip" by then.

Love you all!!!
