It seems the only

time I'm jumping on here to update my blog
is to post updates that are affecting my family
members. Unfortunately, that is our life right
now and I long for the days when we can return
to normalcy.

Bill and I headed to Georgia on Friday to see
Dad. He is getting better and stronger as he
enters his 4th week of hospital residence. On Sat.
we got a 3:00 a.m. call from Amber that Jeremy
was being admitted to the ICU. It appears his
aggresive muscle disease (Myositis) was constricting
his throat causing choking, etc. We left Georgia
on Sat. afternoon and headed home.

After much red tape, insurance calls, etc., Jeremy
was accepted as a patient to the Cleveland Clinic.
He left by ambulance last night with Amber and
Jeremy's Dad following close behind. They arrived this
morning and we hope and pray the Specialists at
the CC can give him the treatment to help him fight this
disease.

Thank you again everyone for your calls, prayers, etc.,
they mean alot and I'm truly thankful!!!

Oh gosh, Betty, how are you guys holding up? I am glad to hear your dad is improving, he must be going nuts in the hospital so long, but at least things are looking up. I am so sad to here about Jeremy, what an awful thing to have happen, they must be beside themselves. Did he have an injury that brought this on or an infection? I'll be praying for everyone, hope you're holding up OK, miss you.

Thanks Debbie. Not sure what brought it on. It seems it was dormant and then something - we don't know what - brought it to the surface..... Hopefully, we'll get some answers soon.
