Midweek Update on Dad!

Hello again...sorry it's been a while since I have updated everyone! Friday and Saturday, Emilie, Mike, Cole and I were gone for a wedding down in Santa Monica that Emilie and I sang in. Our friends Brian & Jessi Patten were married on Saturday at the Shutters on the Beach Hotel in Santa Monica and it was a wedding to remember! Saturday, my dad came home from the hospital and is starting to shuffle around a bit. On Sunday, after we went to church, we ran over to see him and he really looks good. He has started his medications and is having an allergic reaction to them, getting hives ALL over his back, bum, and legs. It is bothering him a little, but for the most part has been a good sport about it. On Monday night, he was able to get out in the back yard and show off his backyarding skills to show Mike the right angle for the lawn edger. :) It was cute watching the two of them figure "man" stuff out together. On Tuesday, he went to his first post-hospital doctor's visit and was enrolled in a medical study for his heart and the medications. Pretty cool because they will really be keeping a close eye on him. He is still fairly weak and is really tired all the time. He was however, practicing his guitar for this weekend...Emilie and Brice's co-ed kitchen shower. My dad is such an amazing guy and I really pray that he'll be around much, much longer. All in all, things are going pretty well. Side note, my mom found out yesterday that she'll have to go back to work part time on October 3rd. Not such good news, but we know that the Lord knows the best thing for her and my dad. Thank you all again for your prayers...keep them up, we know He's listening! :)
