Hello
Saturday, June 17th, 2006Emma Grace has another tooth – upper left front tooth. It has been trying to come out for some time. The one to the right is also trying to come out too. She is starting to walk more and more around her playpen and bed. She tries to stand up on EVERYTHING. We just know that she is going to flip right over on her head. She is doing so many different things, and does something new everyday. Grammy is finished with the ballpark until July 1st. I don't think she is going to Denver with us, but I think Aunt Tammy is. I don't know how Grammy is going to make it without Emma Grace for five days. She says Emma Grace is staying with her. NOT….
Well, we leave for Houston on Monday morning. Wes gave us a scare on Wednesday. I called him on his way home from work, and he told me his heart was beating funny. I was freaking out. We told him to stop in Tallulah, and my dad would come get him. He said he was fine and was feeling better. Even though it was 5:30, I immediately called Houston. The on-call dr called back and said for him to go the ER, and so we did. We headed for North Monroe. He was feeling a lot better by the time we got there, but they did an EKG, blood work and chest x-ray. Everything mostly checked out fine. The EKG showed a slight abnormal pattern, but Dr. Burkett, the cardiologist, said that he didn't think it would make his heart do what it was doing. They said for Wes to call Dr. Fayad Thursday to see what he wanted him to do. The nurse that discharged him said I remember ya'll. She said, “Ya'll were in room four right after they discovered his mass.” I said yep we were. I told Wes when we went in that I didn't recognize any of the people, but this lady remembered us.
Wes called Dr. Fayad's office and left a voice message with Ashley, the patient service coordinator. She never called back, so I suggested he email her. Right after he emailed her, she called saying Dr. Fayad was out of the country, but she had emailed him and it would be tomorrow before she knew anything. We got an email from her Friday morning saying that it would be Monday morning before she could talk to him. He may want Wes to see a cardiologist while we are down there next week, but we don't know. He hasn't had any more episodes or at least he hasn't told me about them if he has. He has been taking it very easy. He worked from home on Thursday and Friday.
Today has been a pretty productive day. I finished Emma Grace's birthday invitation this morning, and they are ready to be mailed. We will mail them Friday when we get back from Houston. I finished up Wes' father's day gifts. Still have some things to do. Grammy, Emma Grace and I went to Wal-Mart to get a few things we need for next week. We got pork loin dinner plates from the benefit they were having for Matthew Johnston. For those of you who don't know him, he just graduated from high school and was diagnosed with a type of lymphoma in January. He seems to be doing very well. The food was VERY good. Hope they raised a lot of money. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
Well, I guess I better go. I have lots to do to get ready to leave for Houston, and then, we will be off to Denver. Please continue to keep Wes in your prayers and pray that we get great results next week. Later.
