We Really Needed A New Post!

So, I thought I'd just take a minute to update you all on some matters of importance. Does everyone remember that Stacey's baby is due in less than a month? Stacey, you're going to have to post a blog (or at least comment on this one) to tell us your due date! We know it's a girl--have you and Dave selected names? Any cute little pregnant belly pictures to increase the anticipation? We are getting pretty excited out here for another new little baby girl. Betsey said she would call you about the possibility of sending along some gently used baby clothes.

Next item. Saturday morning Dad woke up at about 5:00 feeling really weird. His heart was fluttering and was out of rhythm, and it was beating at around 150 beats per minute. After taking a shower, and trying to calm his heart down, he decided he needed to head over to the hospital. I had gotten up with him, and we went over to the emergency room. It turns out that he had atrial fibrillation, and they treated him with a drug called cadizem. After two hours, his heart finally jumped back into the proper rhythm, and he did not have to be put into intensive care (which is what they were just about to do at that point!). He is meeting with the doctor tonight, so I will have him put comments in later. He has done really well since then. We'll see what the doctor says.

I wanted to call you all, and just didn't get to it, since Nora was at our house for most of the weekend (Yes, her mom and dad were here too, but hey.....it was Nora!) . Anyway, don't worry unduly; we are trying to make sure Ed does everything he's supposed to do--no caffeinated soda, no chocolate, etc, etc. Keep him in your prayers.

We love you all!
Mother

And lest ye think I'm changing the subject too soon...

Grandpa is AWESOME...

...even if he did like Rush Limbaugh.
