Happy Father's day and more.....

Oh, my children are so blessed! They have the best father, really they do!! He has and will always be there for them! I have heard from several women as my children were growing up things such as "I wish my husband would play with my girls they way your husband does" or "I wish my husband came to all of our children's performances" etc... anyway you get the idea, he really does love his girls and would do just about anything for them or with them!! His ultimate dream would be for he and Allison to be on the "Amazing Race" together and be the 1st father daughter team to win! And going on a cruise with Anne Marie to some exotic place! And being with Aileen when she talks for the first time!!! He actually has had this dream and feels that he has heard what her voice will sound like. Anyway, as you can tell his girls (me included) are his life!!! And now he is loving life because he has a boy (our John) to talk sports with!!! He is livin' the good life!!! Can't ask for much more!! Thanks honey for being the best Dad ever.......

Unless of course we are talking about my dad, I think he would have to join the ranks of best dad as well! I went over and visited my Dad on Sunday and had a special visit. I appreciate all he does for and with me now and all that he did for me in my youth and that he made it possible for me to go to BYU and meet this fabulous guy I'm married to that continues the tradition of awesome Dads.

Friday, we had a scare Anne Marie had not been feeling well and out of breath and called and asked if she should go to the Doctor or did I think she was over reacting. I'm so glad that I told her that she needed to listen to her body and get checked out!! Turns out one Doctor sent her same day to another specialist and on the same day was sent to another specialist until she was put in the hospital because of 2 blood clots in her lungs!! Of course the question on every one's mind is how does this happen to a 30 yr old!! They have put her on Coumadin which is a blood thinner taken her off other medications that they thought might be causing the blood clots and have given her another med to stabilize the blood clots she already has so that they don't move to places we don't want them to travel to i.e. the brain etc... The body eventually takes care of getting rid of the blood clots as long as they don't go somewhere and cause more problems. They thought she would be able to go home on Sunday but her blood levels are not where they should be yet and when she gets up to move around her heart beat goes crazy and is very erratic, so not gonna happen yet!! Oh, my sweet baby! I was going to fly out for the weekend, but Anne Marie said that she didn't really feel like it was that urgent of a thing for me to come! But its been a tough weekend being away!! Thank heavens for family - Mom and Jay have been there with her and Kevin & MaryAnn my brother and sister-in-laws, Anne Marie's cousins have been by and her friends have come to visit and the Doctors and Nurses that she works with have all been by several times to see her so that is very cool! But I must admit now that she has not gone home on Sunday I do regret that I didn't fly out........work would have been a problem for me, but I would have dealt with it......and I do wish I would have gone! But my girl is an adult and I am so proud of her for so many reasons!!!

Then......Allison posts on Facebook that she had a close encounter with a shark!!! I was finally able to talk to both John and Allison, and it was no joke, it was scary, and they are swimming in the pool in Orlando now and not the ocean!!!

Wow, I think I am ready for a new week!!! Everyone be safe and get well in my family!!!
