Wes had his heart cath last Thursday, and they had to put a stint in.  He had some damage/blockage caused by radiation, but the stint opened it right up.  He has to take Plavix for at least a year, and probably for the rest of his life.  He had to stay in the hospital over night on Thursday.  The doctor was very surprised, and glad he did the procedure.  In his words, “He couldn’t have lived like this.”  The doctor that put the stint in said it went in very good.   He has to start doing some type of aerobic exercise, so it will strength the vessels.  Some of the vessels are small and weak due to the radiation, but with exercise they can come back.  He is still sore where they put the cath in.  I think the doctor thought he was going to be an in and out patient, but as Wes told him, “It is never easy with me.”

They have the house almost blacked-in.  They put the dormers up today.  We have windows in our bathroom and bedroom.  They also put the stairs up and we have sub-flooring on the top floor.  Lowe’s finally delivered the tub/shower and shower on Friday.  We picked out the color of the siding, not sure of the name.  It is a dark gray/brown, I think.  We are still trying to decide on what type of floor and countertops.  I will try and go down tomorrow and talk to our builder to see what is next.  It has been cold and rainy the last two days, so Emma Grace and I haven’t gone down.As we were leaving this afternoon, we noticed it was snowing.  When we got back home, I put Emma Grace out in it and she was so funny.  We told her to open her mouth and she did and would say, “MMMM, snow is good.”  The flakes were not big, but it was definitely snow.  We have pictures.  Grammy is hoping it will be a foot high in the morning, but I don’t think that will happen.  Tomorrow is her birthday, so she is hoping for it.  She said it snowed when she was born.  Emma Grace has taking a liking to yogurt again.  She will eat two at a time.  We now let her go to the refrigerator and pick it out.  She doesn’t have quiet the strength to open the door, but when she does we will be in trouble.  She is so funny when u ask her to show you her muscles.  We have laughed so much at her.  Hopefully, we can get it on video and put it on here.  I guess that is all for now.
