We had a good weekend with the family. We hung with Brooke and Jarrod yesterday. We went to the creek. It was fun, but almost dry. So we opted for the pool at Kay and Billy's.
Brooke came home to relieve some stress, and get a few things caught up. She will be headed back to Houston today. Kay is awaiting a heart transplant, still heavily sedated. If one didn't show up this weekend, they will proceed with the internal device that pumps her blood. Then she can be released from the hospital if she stays close.

My Parents - as teenagers

JULY 13

Lois Winifred Freeman Vance was born on July 13, 1921, to Gertrude and Henry Freeman. She was the 13 child if my memory serves me. She was a precious, sweet soul. She has been gone a long time...16 years... WOW. Can't believe it has been that long. I still miss my mother. I complained to my sister once, that I wish I could dream about momma, but I just couldn't. Judy told me, perhaps it's because you are so much like her. . . WOW... I don't know if it's true, I'll hang on to that, because it makes me feel so good.

Update

I know several of you are aware of the grave situation that my husbands ex-wife Kay is facing. Three weeks ago she suffered a heart attack. After surviving a quadruple bypass, she was in a room and looking well. The night before she was to come home, she flat-lined. This was to happen a few more times before the decision was made to Life Flight her to St. Luke's Hospital in Houston. Our Brooke is with her, along with her step-father and grandparents.
I spoke with Brooke this afternoon and she updated me on the situation. They have started the approval process for a heart transplant. The powers that be meet on Tuesday, and as I understand it, will make the final decision on whether she will be a candidate. If approved she will be on the A1 list. (Most Critical). Kay passed the "absolutely not" hurdle. The next level of disqualifiers is a less black and white, a little more grey. This includes age, insulin dependent diabetics, smokers, drinkers etc. So we wait...
Pray for Kay, and that God will have complete control of things. Pray for Brooke as she goes through this heart wrenching stretch of life.

MHS Lineman Camp

Bo at football camp. He is lifting weights every morning with the team, but during this week he was playing. Having a good time.

Lacey took JaiceyBelle to the park recently. They had lots of fun playing Simba on the rocks.

The birthday speech always starts the same. The year changes of course. "19 years ago today...."
I always wake them up with that. It's harder now when they aren't home on their birthday. Anyway! 19 years ago today I was in San Antonio's Humana Women's hospital being induced. Logan was born mid afternoon, and we were on our way home from the hospital before she was even 24 hrs old. In fact, I stood in the front yard and watched fireworks over Randolph AFB on the evening of the 4th. I think to this day, she likes to believe that the fireworks are in celebration of her birth. I like to think so too. Happy Birthday my little Loganberry.
