What a Week!



Monday was quite the day!
Emily was up all night Sunday with an ear ache.  She missed school....her first time to miss this year.  I took her to the Dr. and it was confirmed that she had an ear infection.

Got home from the Dr and received a call from my dad that my mama was going by ambulance to Arkansas Heart Hospital with pain in her left shoulder and arm.  They did not mess around with these symptoms.  After many test, PRAISE JESUS, it is NOT her heart!!!!!  Still in pain with her shoulder and arm.  Pray that she will find the source of the pain and will get relief.

Frisco, the new kitten has been sick too.  He went to the vet when we got home from Emily's Dr visit.  We think he ate something bad or has a sensitivity to his food.  I think he is feeling better now.


I hope the rest of the week will be better than the first part.

Yesterday,  I went with Emily's class on a field trip to a cave.  We had a really good time!  It was all very interesting!

Gall bladder attacks have the same symptoms as a heart attack..hurting in your shoulder, sick, etc.

Laurie, so glad the tests results were good for your mom and pray that will soon have relief from shoulder/arm pain. Know they are glad to be home. Love the pictures of my precious granddaughters! Enjoy the rest of the week! Love, Kay-K

Addilyn is correct. A gall bladder attack can be very similar to a heart attack. Normally comes after eating, particularly something 'fatty'. She did the right thing going by ambulance though because studies have shown that treatment for women's heart attacks are less aggressive. Also, when you go by ambulance, you most likely avoid triage and get immediate attention. Hope she feels better soon. Hope all of you, including kitty, feels better soon!
I rushed my husband to the ER in the middle of the night because we both thought he was having a heart attack. He was about 32 at the time. Maybe younger. Scared me to DEATH. Gall bladder was the culprit! He hadn't eaten anything that normally triggers it, but it came on very suddenly.
