Hello everyone. I'm giving you an update on what's transpired in the past few weeks.
First of all, WOW! what a cold snap. I can't believe something so beautiful can cause such havic. The resent ice storm was so beautiful. Everything turned to glass. I have never seen anything like it. Louie's mom had no power for a week nor did James & Theda. Our little place was so crowded for a little bit, but we enjoyed it tremendously. Then came melt down, such beauty with every tree glistening. Very dangerous with all the ice falling from trees and power lines. It was like the sky was falling. I'll send pics one of these days.
I also wanted to let you know that Louie was hospitalized for a week. He made a trip to the emergency room on Jan 29th with severe stomache pain. The doctor thought he had an infection in his lower intestine and prescribed an anitbiotic as nothing showed up on his CT Scan. After taking the meds an fighting for more than a week unable to keep any food or liquid in his system, vomiting bile nightly, his Doctor went ahead and admitted him on the 5th of Feb. He was so dehydrated and very weak. They did a contrast on him and the liquid did not pass through his lower intestines and indicated a blockage of some sort. He still is vomiting bile at this point and was scheduled for surgery. Turns out that scar tissue from a previous surgery in 2005, (a burst pancreatic scist that burned is entire belly region). He was able to break it and now he is in the process of healing and regaining his strength. He feels pretty good today and is out and about.
Love all of you. Can't wait to be a part of the next reunion this summer.
