Today maybe only Wednesday but it’s been a long week already. As I was getting ready to leave for work on Monday, my wife said I didn’t have to go and I get to take her to the ER. Something that you didn’t want to hear. All of the sudden, my routine for getting for work went up in smoke and I began to panic. I took her to the hospital because she had problems breathing and they wanted to keep her for a few days. Thankfully she came home today and is doing much better.

Three years ago, she went in for a procedure (sorry I don’t remember the name of it at the moment) and found out she was a ticking time bomb. She had a 95% blockage or something like that in her heart. She didn’t leave the hospital and had to have a triple bypass heart surgery. It was one of the scariest times of my life and I’m sure my kids but they were strong and didn’t show it. When she went away for that 6 hour surgery I was on edge. Would there be complications with the surgery and would I see my wife again? Thankfully the surgery went well but the recovery has been very slow going.

This latest visit to the hospital wasn’t serious thankfully but she just needs to take one of her med more regularly. She had some fluid in her lungs and that was the issue.

My kids and I are glad she is home now and thankful for the doctors who took care of her. Although they seem to forget about her when she got discharged because they were supposed to wheel her out so that I could pick her up.

Just another small reminder how precious life is
