| I will miss having the entire place to ourselves this summer when everyone is on break. |
At first this week was just roaring by. We are finishing school, knocking out the things T needs to do before college starts, planning parties, and organizing our summer. We even went to play pickleball this week and with my new Reebok Nano cross trainers A said I played like a "real person". Apparently, in her mind this a compliment. However, she was right! I love these shoes! They are really sturdy and keep your ankles from rolling so I had no issues making hard lateral movements. In fact, the adults only lost each of our games by no more than two points and one game went into "overtime". The kids seemed confused as to what was happening.😂
T also finished the Trail Life equivalent of his Eagle Scout award! He sought donations, planned, and supervised the installation of a basketball goal for the youth ministry at church. They were thrilled! T even talked to the managers at Academy and Home Depot and Academy gave him $175 off of the goal and Home Depot gave him 50% off of the concrete he needed. I have to say basketball goals are way more expensive than I had thought!

H and C had their first sonogram appointment and Baby Walters is healthy and strong and due on 12/15! What a fantastic Christmas gift!

In the midst of our week, I get a text from mom informing me that she had taken my father to the emergency room. He had been complaining about dizzy spells, had extreme fatigue, and his legs had suddenly gotten so weak that he could barely walk. He was very anemic and his platelets were so low that they gave him a blood transfusion. Unfortunately, by the time the next morning came around his platelets were back down again. This brought about all kinds of testing. He has basically had a complete tune up! The tests keep coming back normal, but yet his platelets and hemoglobins are low. We are currently waiting on the results of the labs the oncologist took of his bone marrow. Unfortunately, those take 5-7 days to get, not including weekends so we most likely won't know those until next week. He also had an MRI on his liver today, but we should know those tomorrow. We really can't move forward until we have the results of the bone marrow. My father is more than ready to move to the rehab facility and eventually head home. My parents are normally so active and healthy that this was not only sudden, but shocking. I know mid 80's is older, but this is the first time he has really looked older. I am really happy my mother brought him to the hospital when she did because my dad didn't realize how sick he was.
