we had to put my FIL in the hosptial this morning... he was complaining of chest pains. We met the ambulance at the er... they did blood work and found out his hemoglobin was at a 4..... its suppose to be at an 11..... they freaked, went into panic mode and immediately started to give him some blood. he has some internal bleeding but not for sure where... one thing at a time... after only one unit of blood he had improved alot... he is in the critical care unit in the hospital. on a different matter both of my kiddos are doing good. The funeral of the little girl on Rebeccas volley ball team is this afternoon. THATS why i'm here and not at the hosptial LOL... IKE has not made an appearance in oklahoma yet, i've not heard the latest, but i'm thinking here in Norman we wont get over a couple inches of rain.... i have to scoot its going to be a very busy day. i've been up since 3:00 this morning....

Vicky, thinking of you while you and your family are going through all
this I can understand the panic with your FIL. I only have experience with the hemoglobin with dogs, I had two that had Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia. I am glad he responded so well to treatment. Please keep us posted. I am sure the service is going to be hard to witness.... keeping your family- their family in my thoughts and prayers

(((((Vick)))))
Wow...yesterday sounds like a doozy. You and Rick have had very full plates lately. How is FIL today? I'm glad he is getting the help he needs. 4 is a scary hemaglobin....it is what carries oxygen to our body so when it is that low, many things can be affected. I hope they get to the bottom of why. How did the services go yesterday? Are the kids doing OK? |

My FIL is doing much better today. we just got back from the hosptial. Hes on his 6th unit of blood and his hemoglobin is up to an 8. The dr said he wanted it to a 10. Both kiddos are doing well.... the services yesterday were sad, but it was more of a celebration rather than a sad affair... there were still many many tears, but the service was very uplifting... Rick is broke out in Hives from all the stress hes been under. yesterday his top lip was swollen. it looked like he had been in a fist fight and lost.... I think we're getting ready to take a nap... its been a very busy weekend...
Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts... You guys are the best! vicky
