UPDATE

Hey Everyone,

It's a cool and rainy Tuesday - good day to stay inside. But, I love the change of seasons - the air smells so crisp and clean.

Kelly, Ron & kids got home o.k. on Saturday afternoon - tired from driving straight through - 22 hours. Kids are back in school now and everything will get back to normal, whatever that is.

I spent today at the hospital. Well, not all day - I worked my 2 hours, then went. I was so sick over the week-end, and figured I was dehydrated, so they wanted me to come in for a liter of fluid. My hemoglobin count was way low again, so I got 2 pints of blood too. Should feel like a new woman by morning!!

We hope to go to Elgin on Friday to spend some time with Sam's mom. We haven't been there for a while, so are looking forward to getting away. She always enjoys company and especially loves getting out of there for a few hours. Amongst her whole family, someone is there almost every week-end.

Have a great week!

Karen

    Sorry to hear you were down and out over the weekend, but hopefully the new blood and fluids will help you regain some strength. Rest, rest, rest.....and just one more to go. What a relief that will be.

    I too enjoy the cooler weather. I hate hot flashes, and they seem more intense when the weather is warm. But I try not to get too crabby over them, and I really do appreciate my many blessings.

    You remain in my prayers.

    Hi Mom,
    Dad told me that you having a rough week-end, too bad that you were dehydrated again. The blood and fluid will do wonders for you and your energy level.
    We survived the first morning without Ken here and Evan made it to the bus. YEAH!! We are going to Rochester today and let the kids swim. Ken has his conference until Friday at 5.
    I have my woodworking class tomorrow night and then next week I will miss it so I can get my CPR and First Aid done. Then I should be ready to get my day care license.
    That is all for now. I need to go and vacuum and do some laundry.
    Have a great week.
    Love you,
    Krista

    I too love the change of seasons. It is just so refreshing the things that we forget are so great about each season. I love the smell of the dried leaves. Hope you enjoy your week and get plenty of rest. Ash, E and Jade send big hugs your way. Did you feel them?

    Hi - I hope you are feeling better today after getting blood yesterday.
    I went and met Krista, Ken and Kids at the hotel and swam with them for a little while. It was fun. The kids were tired so hopefully it didn't take them long to wind down after I left.
    Tell Grandma hi when you go to see her this weekend!
    I gotta go pack. We are heading up to the cities tomorrow after work! Pray for good weather or it is going to be a very LONG 50 mile walk this weekend!
    Luv ya!
    Stacy
