Weekend update

Happy Sunday to all...

You all know...sometimes life doesn't work out the way we plan. It makes us stronger, right?

Our plans for the weekend was a 4 hour drive to the North Dallas area to attend the wedding of one of the graphic designers on my team at work. We were going to leave Saturday and return Sunday. On our way home Sunday, we were going to stop and have lunch with Aspen and Geordon.

When we got to the townhouse to drop Poppy off on Saturday morning, however, our plans quickly changed. Mimi was not doing well at all.

Earlier in the week, she had slipped off her bed while on the phone with Chris...when we got there Saturday morning, we discovered she had fallen again. She was disoriented and in a pain and we determined that she needed to visit the ER to see what was going on.

They discovered a few things there, and decided that she needed to be admitted to the hospital. Her CK levels were high on her bloodwork, which indicated she had been on the floor for awhile when she fell and she possibly had some muscle damage. Then toxins leak into kidneys, so they wanted to hydrate her and flush her kidneys.

So now we wait to see what happens. It's a little unknown and a little scary. We'll gladly accept prayers if you are so inclined to lift some up!

In the meantime...we are most likely going to need to begin the process of moving into the townhouse. Even after coming home from the hospital (whenever that happens to be), she really shouldn't be on her own. With Aspen living in Arlington now, we were already contemplating this since we are no longer receiving monthly rent from Aspen. This just solidifies the decision. We've already traded in the big truck for something that will save us about $400 a month. We've got our RV up on the internet to sell. It will be a process.

So...one day at a time.

The week ahead will consist of work and trips to the hospital which is about 30 minutes from our place. One day at a time.
