Mom got to go home from the hospital today after the tests returned fairly normal. At this point they are going to avoid interventional treatment and just try some lifestyle changes.
Steve's aunt is still fighting to get better. She is only in her late 40s, so she still has a lot left in her. Please keep her tucked in your prayers and we will let you know if anything changes.

Long Weekend
It was a long weekend/beginning of the week here. Steve's aunt was rushed into the hospital Friday night after having a seizure at work. We didn't actually find out about her hospitalization until Sunday while she was in surgery. You see, she has a clot in a vein that caused her seizure. When they went in to dissolve the clot, it was discovered the clot was at LEAST seven inches in length and much more involved than they had originally thought. She's in pretty bad pain and will be in and out of surgeries for probably the better part of the week.
Then yesterday Mom tells me she is being admitted to the hospital. Right now she is in getting a stress test and some lab work. Pending the results of her testing, she should be able to go home today. Mom's fine, just a little scare with her heart. She said last night that she will probably just get a lecture after the testing to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. She said she knew the conversation was coming soon, she was just hoping to avoid it. If there is, in fact, anything to worry about, I will let everyone know. But it doesn't look that way.
Right now though, everyone is chugging along. If you would tuck them in your prayers, that would be great.

Play Day
I went to the park with Sam, Kate, Patrick and Eva on Tuesday. Here are a few pictures from our fun play day. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed taking them!

He stopped halfway down the slide to tell me not to take his picture
CLEARLY that didn't work 
Patrick and Daddy (Sam) going down the slide...Patrick won!

It's been a couple of weeks
Steve started working again as of this past Thursday. He is working at his family's pool company. Total Pool Solutions is lucky to have Steve on the team. They have a very full schedule of openings coming up soon, so I am looking forward to a tired and sore hubby soon too.
I went back to the doctor today for a follow-up on my back. It looks like I am going to go ahead with trying cortisone shots. Hopefully that works and in the fall Steve and I can really start expanding our family. Here's to hoping!
