Flutter Heart Moment
Last night while Kev was being stubborn and ran out to look at PC stuff ( while I laid sluggish on the couch unable to stop him, this new jobs has given him balls!) my mother in law called. She sounded awful and has been sick lately and today she is having a series of test done. She started with Hey sweetie I have some bad news. My heart dropped I do not handle news very well and tried to focus on things to relay to Kev. I was happy it was her calling though for I knew and intially hoped nothign was wrong with her. She went on to explain how Uncle Richard was having a heart scope done and things didn't look good. His heart is only working at 10 percent and two viens are clogged among other things. Fifteen minutes prior to my MIL calling Uncle Richard had gone into respiortory arrest and moved to CCU ( Critical Care Unit). Things didn't look good. There is no surgery that can correct the matters. Among this point my MIL chippered in with, "How is my Grandpuppy?" Catching me off gaurd for I don't handle health news well at all! Seriously if it weren't for Kev I would crumble!
This morning I have been informed Uncle Richard is amazingly doing much better!! Also that my MIL has gone in for her test and my FIL will be calling to let us know how it goes. My MIL side of the family is incredibly stubborn and tough willed, for so long my MIL and I bumped head or rather my head was the one bumping. She is an amazing women has told death "I don't think so" half a dozen times, survived cancer, traveled the world, fought fires, saved lives and has been such a great mom to me! I get teary eyed when I think of everything she has done and how much she has loved me over the years. All i could do is think she was being controling and maniplative. I love that women she is headstrong but has so much love and inspirations.
But these are the reasons, among many others, that remind me why we moved closer to family. So many health issues going on with Kev's family ( not just what is above) it is nice to know we are close, for his family is about moral support and togetherness.
