Good news/bad news

Bad news....My mom is in the hospital because of mini strokes. They think she has had 2 that they know of. She was supposed to have knee replacement on Friday (16th), but on Thursday (15th) she woke up with her arm feeling totally numb. She went into the doctor and they couldnt get a blood pressure on that arm at all. So they sent her immediately to the ER. They admitted her. They think there is a blockage in her sub-clavical and are trying to pinpoint it exactly. The problem is, she is already in kidney failure, stage 4, so they cant do contrast MRI or anything like that. Her kidneys cant handle it. Also, anesthesia is an issue. They may just have to do a local to fix the blockage. She cant get general anesthesia because of her kidneys. So they are doing bunches of tests, put her on heparin and are drawing her blood every 6 hours. No fun! So we are praying for her and hoping for the best. They are wanting to do surgery on Monday is all goes well with all the tests they are doing.

Fun news.....So I just discovered facebook and I think I am addicted already! Its so much fun! I am catching up with family that I havent talked to in ages!

Good news...........We are getting a new washer and dryer! I am so dang excited! I have never been so excited to do a load of laundry. Hopefully I will be spending less time and wont have to do so many loads now. We are getting them on Tuesday.

So thats it for now!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! So its been a hectic few months! We had Katelyn in November, my sister was here to help. Then Thanksgiving came up fast and Glens parents were here to help and cook (thank goodness!! ). The kids had a ball with them. Then it was Christmas concerts, decorating for Christmas, shopping, and being sleep deprived with a newborn and trying to get on a schedule during the busiest time of year! But we made it to 2009! My parents came up the very end of December and was here to help bless Katelyn. We blessed her on January 4th in our ward. She of course cried through the whole thing, but luckily we could still hear what Glen said when he blessed her. He gave a wonderful blessing to her. She was very cute and wore the blessing outfit my sister made me when I was a baby. It was so great to have my parents here! The kids had a blast with hiking with grandpa (up and down hills :) ), playing, reading, and lots more. We were sad they had to go back home. Anyway, here are some pics!
