LUNAR ECLIPSE



Here is my attempt to have fun with my digital and the beautiful eclipse we had this evening.

My Valentine Adventure

It started like any other day a visit from my aunt susan and talk of geneaology. Off to the doctor's for grandma's 2 week blood draw--then my crazy valentines day adventure began.  Grandma started having a seizure in the blood lab.  Then she is hooked up for an EKG and another seizure.  A short ride in the ambulance (and i really mean a short ride 'across the road') to Harrison where in the ER she has 3 more seizures.  Unable to control the seizures the nurse gave her an injection of 'diazapan' that quickly knocked grandma out. She was knocked out so good the nurse thought she was dead and called for the doctor STAT! With shallow breaths visible the doctor asked what grandma's wishes were... I was thinking that today might be the day!  Grandma is doing a little better now that she has start her new pill cocktail for seizures, having a very slight change in her memory of the last few days, a slower speech and little recollection of this event we are home and well.
