I hope that Coogan and Katey had great birthdays yesterday! Although I didn't call, you were both on my mind. It was also Steve Sifford's birthday. I always remember because of him sharing it with Coogan and Katey. It's funny because I can remember many moons ago when Steve turned 40 and we all dressed in black and surprised him at his house. We bought gag gifts and it seemed like 40 was soooo old to me! Now, here I am a year away from that number myself and I can't believe I still feel sooo young.. haha Of course when I consider my surgeries and injuries in the last several years I don't always feel so young! haha Anyway, I really do hope you guys had a good day spent among loved ones.
I'm sure that most if not all of you know what Patty and I went through over the last couple weeks. For the uninformed, Patty suffered her second Pulmonary Embolism and her last I might add if I have anything to do with it. Her current GP took her off of her Coumadin about 6 months ago which combined with putting her on an anti-inflammatory (for an unrelated foot problem) we believe is the culprit. Although we believe he was trying to improve her quality of life through these actions we also believe he was negligent in his actions and so we're in the process right now of finding her a doctor. This is not a fun process by any means so please continue to pray for us as we search for the right person to care for Patty. Speaking of prayer, I want to thank all of you for your prayers, cards, support, etc... When you're in the thick of things you tend to self-isolate and forget about the rest of the world and now that we're starting to come out of it I want you all to realize how much we love and appreciate you! (Juan your voicemails were incredibly awesome and really got me through some tough moments! Love you brother!) So we love you all and I'm really going to be posting more lately! I was talking to Mom about this a few days ago but I just want to reiterate my feelings about the blog. I really think that if we write as if in a journal for our own reasons, it'll take it to another level. We'll begin to see the inner workings of each other and take the intimacy to a whole new level. Nothing wrong with using it as a news tool too to keep each other informed since we all live so far apart. (that's what this post was for sure) Anyway, just a thought! Love and miss you all!
