Merry Christmas Everyone! This year I mean it more than ever before! On Decemnber 18, Randy had a heart attack. He's fine now but it was definitely a concerned couple of days. We went to the E.R. as soon as we realized that he was having symptoms. The next day he had a Cardiac Cath. and the Doctors found 2 blocked arteries around his heart. During the same procedure they inserted 2 Stents. (expandable coils of metal that force the block, open) and pretty much told us that he's good to go. He has to take some medications for a while. It's been a little over a week now and they don't seem to be having any negative effects. He also started Cardiac Rehab yesterday (Friday, Dec. 26) and is a happier man because he was told he may use the snow blower now, within reason. He is not to do any shovelling, but that's fine. One of our neighbors, Kevin Bock, has graciously volunteered to do the stuff that Randy isn't allowed to, for the rest of the season.
Ben & Kari came from Waukee right after the Cath was done. They stayed for the weekend and helped us get some things set up and really helped during a very trying time. Dan was there for moral support via telephone. "We love you" just doesn't cover it.
Today is Floyd's , what??? 51rst Birthday? I'd really like to hear about your family's Mission trip. Details please...If I'm interested, I'm sure everyone else is too. Happy Birthday, Floyd-baby.
We spent Christmas day at Mark and Glenda's place. This was the first time I got to meet Cohen, Micah's son. Sweet baby...but that's no surprise. Also, newly engaged Aleisa and and Jordon were there, and the beautifully pregnant Megan with her husband peter. Another "new" person was introduced: (and I know I'm going to spell it wrong so I'm just doing it phonetically) K-C, Marcus's brave girlfriend, came and met the whole fam damily at one time. I don't really need to say the the food was delicious, but it was.
Okay. Let's get some of your news. Happy New Year. With love, Rachel
