I know, it's been a while since my last update, but if you know me then you'd know by now that I do that-go a while without an update then give a brief synopsis. I'll try to do better, but no promises.
So let's see...Finals were tough, but I got my grades Monday and I got a 4.0. Sweet! I even got an A in Anatomy which is what I was really pushing for. I guess all that studying finally paid off. There is no way that Belmont won't accept me to OT school now!
Daddy had another heart catheterization Monday. He had 4 more blockages, which blows my mind since he just had 6 bypasses 6 months ago. So they went in today and put stints in two of the blockages. The other two were on the back side of the heart and in curved areas and they weren't able to stint them, so they're going to try to treat them with medicine. Hopefully that will work. Unfortunately we're expecting that somewhere down the road he'll have to have another bypass surgery. I just hope it's not for a good while. It's crazy how someone who doesn't smoke or drink, had just lost 45 pounds, and started exercising could all of a sudden have all these heart problems. His brother died of heart disease at a young age though, so I guess it just runs in the family. It's scary to think that if he was a smoker and a drinker he might not have made it this far. I'm tired of doing this hospital thing, but unfortunately I think it's just the beginning. I'm just going to keep praying that God will work miracles because I need my Daddy.
I'm going back to Nashville tomorrow. Weed and Alex are getting married on Saturday-the first of my friends to tie the knot. It's crazy. So I'm driving down tomorrow and spending time with Eric and then we're driving to Dresden for the wedding Saturday night and I'm coming home Sunday. Then I have to start getting the pool ready to open Memorial Day weekend. There's going to be a lot to do!
