Hey Everyone!!

Just thought I would stop by to see how everyone is doing, its been along time.

To catch you guys up, I am still working at the same place as a Manager been 8 years now, how time flies.

Edder and I have taken some small weekend vacations which have been fun. With this economy its all we could afford at the time but its what you make out of it that is what counts.

We took 3 weeks to go to Wisconsin, but not on a happy note. One night my sister called me and said my Dad was really sick and was rushed to the hospital to get home as fast as I could. By the time my son Jake and I had a few drinks to calm our nerves we packed and got on the earliest flight we could at 1am figuring we would only be gone a week. We arrived in Wisconsin and went right to the hospital where my Dad was in a paralyzed induced state. They said that he had double phomonia, E coli and had a heart attack where only 1/3 of his heart was working. It didnt look good. After a few days the doctors said that he was getting better, so we decided to keep our flight home figuring there was nothing I could do at the hospital since he was getting better and figuring I would be back in the near future when he has heart surgery. We left and got to Texas when my sister called and said Dad took a turn for the worst to get back there as fast as I could. So we had to do some rearranging and fast. We got back to Wisconsin having to deal with snow this time, yeah my Dad knew how much I hated to drive in snow this was his payback Im sure. When returning to the hospital they said that it didnt look good, and that if he made it for a few more days he would have to have a trake put in because he could no longer be on life support. We had a conference with the doctors and they said even if he pulled through this they didnt know if he would ever recover, he still had open heart surgery to go through he still was very sick with phamonia, all in all they told us that he might be a vegetable and that was more so what they were leaning towards. After talking and talking amongst us kids and relatives we decided that Dad wouldnt want to live this way, so we made the hardest decision ever, to take him off of life support in which he would die. In my Dad's will it states that he wanted everyone that knew him to have a beer on him, so I cleared it with the doctors and nursing staff if I could bring in cases of beer to hand out to the 50 some people that were in his room saying good bye, they okay ed it, so Edder ran to the store and when he came back I handed out the beer to everyone in which I made a toast to my Dad. It was the hardest thing to have to go through. I still have a hard time thinking he is gone, I know hes in a better place but I still dont have a Dad to call on the phone. As some of you know my Mom has Alzheimers and it is getting worse, she still dont know Dad is gone. My sister is a god send, she has been taking care of my Mom along with a caregiver we found, so far everything is working out, but I know someday in the future we will have to look into putting her in a home, which will be the hardest thing to go through once again. Life is so important, live each day like its your last you just never know. My Dad a few days before he got sick was told after having blood work done that he was in great health and then he fell over just like that. Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to let you guys know where I have been.

I am still living in CA but if Mom gets to bad I might be living back in WI to help with her, I want to prolong the assisted living home as long as I can.

I hope all of you are well, and I think of you guys often.

Love ya guys
Heather

What Foster said. I think we can all let bygones be bygones (If I said that right) and root for the Packers again together. Don't be a stranger. I was wondering about you.

Sorry to hear of your father's passing.

Heather.. first glad to hear from you again.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, I know that along with your Mom weighed heavily upon you.

Say Hi to you Husband, must have been a bit of a tugging in both directions with the Packers facing the Steelers for the marbles.. he couldn't lose. :)

Stop by more often.

Personally, I'm offended Heather hasn't stopped by more often. I'm going to double her PackersHome membership fee as well as her husbands. 🙂

Aww....Heather....i wish i would have known. I would have tried to be there to help you.
Here it's been your Mom that's been sick, and your dad dies. I'm sure that had alot to do with his health, the stress and all. That kind of thing wieghs heavily on a person.
You have my (and LJ's) sincere condolences.
Please say hi to Edder for me.
I know no words can ease the pain. But know that our hearts go out to you.
