Thursday, June 8

Grandpa is at OSU in the specialized heart clinic.

Since my last blog:
* G had a third heart attack that destroyed the lower left portion of his heart. However, the amount of pressure that is still getting pump out is high enough that the doctor's are not concerned about it at this point in time.
* They have limited the amount of steriods and his blood sugar has returned to normal.
* He had a cath this morning and the put a stint in one of his valves. Another valve needs a stint but he is to weak to handle that at this time. The doctor's think they can correct it with meds, anyway.
* The blood specialist has two or three meds that he thinks will work with the low blood platelettes and not mess up his sugar.
* It is unknown how much longer he needs to stay at the hospital.



First time ever's: (change of subject)
* Going out with Sterba's and other softball players
* Going out in flip flops
* Painted toe nails (yes, girls... don't fall off your chairs)
* New hair color (just done today!) I LOVE IT!
* Feeling really really good about myself and actually thinking "I'm cute!"


Things to smile about today:
:) Grandpa's improved health
:) List of first ever's
:) Lot's of free time
:) possible photography experience that would be priceless

God is good. I guess for some people steroids are good, for others: STEROIDS IS'A DEVIL! Either way God is good.
