Monday

This day was a fullfilling day of sit and wait. Tamra and I took Mamaw Stapleton to the doctor and found ourselves freezing to death and quite bored! The hospital is fit only for people who are hot blooded and who love to sit all day long! It was quite and experience I must say! Mamaw became very aggravated after waiting for hours because she never could remember why we were even there to begin with. It was quite frustrating. The doctor was concerned with her breathing and needed to have some tests run in order to make sure she wasn't having any heart problems. It turns out that she showed a very small sign of congestive heart failure. The doctor decided to put her on a water pill to get rid of any excess fluid that could be around her heart. We were quite relieved that she could go home and lay down to relax. Hopefully we will begin to see some signs of her being able to breath more clearly very soon. The next doctor visit will be on the 30th to run some more tests. I will keep everyone posted.
OH yeah, while we were gone to the doctor there was a terrible storm at our house. When we returned home there had been a tree struck by lightening in Mamaw's yard. It looked just like the lightening had hit the tree and split it down the middle. I took some pictures and will post later. That day there was some wood on one side of her yard and some more word on the other side of her yard. It was really quite neat. The next day we had some hard winds and Tamra heard a loud crash. After investigating we found that part of the tree had fallen on the side where Mamaws swing sits. Today during another wind and rain storm Taylor heard a loud crash. After investigating once again we found more of the same tree lying on the other side of the yard. It was quite a big tree so it is going to take quite a lot of work to get it removed! Good grief! What is going on around here? I sure hope the trees near my house don't decide to fall!!
