Hey, sorry I haven't been on. This time there's a good reason, though.

My mom had a stroke last Thursday. It's been a week now that she's been in the hospital, and she'll be there for at least two more.

I was going to tell you sooner, it's just that I've been so busy. My little sister and I are house hopping like crazy! I finally got to stay home today so I could clean, do laundry, etc. So I decided to update you. 

Um, she's doing okay. She can talk well, but she has remaining numbness in her right side and is having trouble swallowing. Her sense of balance is way off- when she thinks she's leaning to the left, she's really upright. She also can't see that well. It's like she's been spinning for a long time and then stopped suddenly, she told me.

The good news is that she's now on the rehab floor, learning how to walk, run, and climb stairs on her own again and taking vision excersizes. She's making progress, but still, pray for all of us in this hard time. Oh- her name's Cindy.    

 My dad's holding up well. At least around my sister and I. Anna is taking it HARD. When you're eight years old, you really don't understand what's going on and why you can't have your mommy come home at night.

I'm okay. basically I'm the mom right now. All you Mommas out there- I have a great appreciation for you! It's SO hard to do everything!  I really don't know how you do it day after day. I'm glad I'm not a mom yet, haha.

Well, thanks you guys. I gotta go, I have something happening after lunch so I have to get a move on. Love you all.
