Hospital Visit

Have you ever wanted to go to the Temple but something happens and you can't go. Isn't it amazing how hard Satan works to keep us from doing what the Lord wants us to do. With Matt getting ready to serve his mission it seems that one negative thing after another keeps happening. The latest is my mom having to spend a few days in the hospital. She had really high blood pressure all day Sunday. She made it through dinner and then told my dad he would have to take her somewhere. She didn't want to go to the hospital and was upset when we told her that was going to be her only option at 6:30 at night. My dad called around 8:00 and said they were going to keep her over night. By the time they got to the hospital her blood pressure was 200/120. The next morning they had ruled out a blood clot but said that she had Super Ventricular Tachycardia. Which means that the upper chambers of her heart were beating faster than the lower chambers. The only thing that they are finding that caused it is the fact that she had low potassium and electrolyte levels. She is feeling much better and will be able to come home today. We went and visited her last night because she was getting frustrated that she was stuck in the hospital and wasn't spending time with Matt before he leaves. Cayden had quite a good time visiting the hospital. He looked around for a while then he sat down took his shoes off ans made himself comfy.

Sorry the video is dark. I hate that it shows up darker on blogger. LAME!

We love you mom and are glad you get to come home today. No more scares please!!!!

It does seem that Satan tries extra hard when there is a missionary involved. So glad that she is doing better and can come home soon.
