To everyone who has added me to their network I want to thank you for doing so, and for those who I added thank you for requesting me add you and I am sorry for not being able to do it sooner. In my previous blog I talked about our lives on a daily basis, and the routines we do everyday. Since then we have had great changes, some good, some bad. But all of them reasons for doing just as I had talked about before. Here is a story I hope you all enjoy, It's another page in my life, my family's life. It's March 24th, 2008. We had all gotten up to our normal routine. I was leaving for school and Scott and Bubba had left for work and school also. We went on about our day as normal, Me and Bubba come home and I was waiting for Scott to call. It was 1:45 (He always called at 10:00 in the morning to make sure I made it safely to school, 2:00 in the afternoon to make sure I made it home and 4:00 to see if we needed anythng from the store). 2:00 Came and went, Scott didn't call. I waited 2:30, 3, 3:30. I kept telling myself not to worry, He's fine. 4:45 he called, but it wasn't him on the phone, it was the Thomasville EMT. She was telling me how he was having a heart attack and wouldn't listen to her. I was in shock, I didn't know what to do. Her words kept repeating in my head, I couldn't hear his voice, all I heard was her. She put him on the phone finally and I could hear him, he was calm he didn't act ike he was having a heart attack, he sounded fine. He was asking me to let him come home, I finally had to tell him in a not so nice way, he was dying. then he got it. The day before was my Birthday, we had gotten up done our daily thing, went to eat, Went to a friends house, had a birthday party with the kids and all of our family. the next day at 7:00 p.m we are sitting in the emergency room in Thomasville and My husband has had 2 heart attacks within a metter of 3 hours, that was on a Monday. That night was the first night we had to spend apart from each other since the day we met, over 3 years ago now, and it was the last he told the nurses he didn't care if it was ICU, I could sleep there or he was sleeping with me in the hall. Their choice. So they let me stay. By wensday, he was having a camera run through his arteries to see how bad it was blocked and what was blocked. A few hours later he was having a angioplastisis, which is where they take the balloon and the camera and drill out your arteries., Basically. that afternoon we found out his main LED Arterie was 100% blocked and they would have to do surgery then, they couldn't wait, he wasn't even supposed to be breathing, he was supposed to have died. Come Thursday morning his arterie was unblocked and they put in a stent to repair the damage, the whole lower back side of his heart was damaged, they didn't know if it could be repaired or not. Come Friday we were on our way home, He's on about 9 different meds, and a whole new diet, but overall he's doing great. A week after we got a new family member, We call him Stupid, mainly because that's what he answers to no matter what. He is our Red Nose pit, He's now 7 months old, about a month ago we got Brownie, he a English and chocolate pit, we saved him from a dog fighter and he's now becoming more family friendly. we also have flash, which just turned 8 weeks old. He's our Minature persian mix kitten, solid black with a white dot for a belly. My brother is fine now, the chemo treatments took and he is as health as someone that has gone through Lymph node cancer could be. My father is still here, the cancer is still spreading, but he is a fighter. We have added 3 new 4 legged family members since march of this year. We lost our AVON Business and I had to put school on hold for a while. I started Homeschooling my son, and my husband now works at night, he can't take the heat anymore since his heart attack(s)., and we are trying to start a new business this time a more stationary business, no traveling. My husband is 37 years old, we still get up everymorning, we still say I love you, we still call each other during the night, only now we do it more and we take absolutely nothing for granted. No matter how old or how young, you never know what, when or where something like this may strike. The only thing you can know is that if you are talking to your wife, daughter, mother, brother, father or son and you say what you feel, that you love them and you know they know it and something happens, they will Never Give Up, they will say I Love You, and they will Never Say Goodbye either. We didn't. and we never will.
