Heart Specialist Results

Well we went to the doctors today and had an ultrasound and the results showed that he has a larger than normal Aortic Valve. The doctor thinks he has Marfan Syndrome (people with this syndrome are very tall and skinny Richard is 5'11" and 138 lbs and only 14). Richard will need to go see a Eye Specialist because they will be able to see something in his eyes. The Syndrome affects their muscle's and joints. Marfan syndrome is a disorder of connective tissue. Richard will hate if he has this being as he LOVES to play hockey and that is one of the sports he would not be able to play if it worsens. I'm asking for prayers for Richard and for the family to get through the test and handle the results.

Heart Specialist


Next Wednesday I have to take Richard to a Heart Specialist. He is having problems with his heart rate and when he stands up he feels like he is going to pass out he gets real dizzy. So hopefully it is nothing. I'm just asking everyone to pray that things will turn out o.k.

"Sleep Study"


I went with Richard to his sleep study Tuesday night and she asked if we need you to stay tomorrow for a day study can you stay. I told him they always ask that. I spoke to soon because the next morning they came in and asked that very question. So we ended up staying until Wednesday around 6:00 p.m. It was long boring and I had to sleep in that chair in the background no comfortable at all. I will post the results when I get them. I was able to come home and get some things and the one thing he wanted was the laptop that kept him busy all day.

Hunter Safety


Richard and Kyle took their hunters safety class and passed their test. I'm proud of them but worry about them hunting with guns. Their father has hunted for years but their my babies and I worry. I just don't want them to grow up so fast.

"The Kids First Day of School"




Richard acting cheesy for his picture. His first day of high school I can't believe that he is getting that old already. Kyle and Trevor on their way to middle school. Paige was getting picked up by Hank and didn't really want her picture taken. Oh well I'm a picture person and they are getting used to it somewhat.

I'm back

My computer has been at the shop getting fixed. So I will have to get caught up. We are still trying to recover from the funeral. The kids and I went camping in Boyne city for a week. The boys are doing o.k. My nephew blames himself for wanting his grandpa at his open house. He hasn't left the house for awhile unless he went to the doctors. I would feel bad myself if my grandpa died on the way home from my open house. I started bowling last Wednesday with my ex-mother in-law. She is the one that just lost her husband and she is also going through treatment for skin cancer. Well all is about the same here just getting through each day one day at a time.
