No, I Didn't Hit Him in the Head

with a frying pan.These are the injuries Corby got at 4am this morning when he passed out in the bathroom. I called an ambulance, and he was transported to St. Francis. After running blood tests and an EKG, they determined it was not a heart attack. Actually, they couldn't really determine what caused it. This has happened before - twice - but it's been about 7 years since the last one. He was having bad cramps and was nauseous before passing out. They call it "vasovagal syncope" - where extreme pain or shock makes you pass out. After running the tests and calling our doctor, they released him around 7am to rest at home for a few days. He will be going to the doctor on Monday and they will probably set him up with a 24 or 48-hour heart monitor just to make sure his heart is beating correctly. Needless to say it freaks me out when this happens. Nothing like waking up from a deep sleep by hearing a LOUD crash! He's a little stiff and sore from hitting - well - we're not really sure what he hit, but his shoulder hurts as well as his head. Kaitlin went to the hospital with me - we actually beat the ambulance there!

Keep us in your prayers!

I sure hope Corby is doing better now! Sorry to hear about your exciting night. I can't help putting the last 2 posts together, I would sure be sick if I unloaded 2 trucks in frigid weather. It was -2 here in IN when we arrived and the night before it was -20! Cold trip so far, hope it warms up tomorrow.

Things happen in groups it seems. Hope Corby is on his way to recovery and NEVER has another one of those attacks. Anne

Well i am glad Linda called me before i saw the picture of Corby. Looks like he was in a fight with the bathroom and the bathroom won. Believe me i have had fights with the kitchen and ended up sitting on the floor with a carton of cottage cheese in one hand, at least i didn't drop the cottage cheese, ha ha. Sometimes we have to laugh about things that happen in our lives. Love ya Rhonda

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
