Intensive Care

My older sister, Rhonda, is hospitalized in ICU at St. Francis tonight. We had to call EMS twice yesterday, and the second time, at around 11:30pm, we had them transport her to the hospital. Her blood sugar was dangerously low, and in fact, when first found around 3pm, she was basically comatose. They are running a bunch of tests on her, but so far, they believe the medication she had been taking was totally wrong for her. She hasn't been to the doctor in at least 3 or 4 years, but her doctor in Oklahoma was still prescribing the same meds for her. This guy is obviously a quack. My doctor will not continue to prescribe medication without a visit to see him at least every 6 months. Anyway, Rhonda has an infection in her toe, and they believe the infection is also part of the reason they are having trouble regulating her blood sugar. Rhonda, we are praying for you!

And today's quote (Heather, the quotes are back!) is: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." -- Henry David Thoreau

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
