Time Passes

Wow, Thursday already...
My sister-in-law is in the hospital... She has had congestive heart failure for some time, and had a-fib.. a perfect storm of things happening in her life,  a load of sheep to get delivered and would not get out of the trailer except each one separately.. very hot weather, and not drinking enough water or getting good sleep.  She was in the hospital in Madras for two days, then her heart beat became very erratic and she was shipped off to Bend and more intensive care and testing than what the Madras hospital was able to provide.  The doctor was more positive than negative, saying that he expected her to be able to get back to trucking sheep/cows/ pigs as per 'normal'
I really hope so.... she already feels much better and has gotten rid of much of the fluid and swelling which is a good thing. And today they shocked her heart back to a normal rhythm.  No blood clots formed, which is a very good thing.
 It is distressing to see her laying there, out of her element.
So, that is where I have been and what I have been doing.  Nothing very exciting or newsworthy, just supportive and hopefully helpful... there
Take Care All & God Bless... take care of yourselves....
