It all started Friday afternoon.  I hadn’t felt good the previous few days and I just canceled going to an overnight retreat with a couple guys from our church.  I had then decide to leave work about 4:45pm and catch a high school soccer game that a player I coach is on.  Well I guess she didn’t show up, lol, so off I went at half time and headed home.  I cooked up some dinner and when Leslie got home we started talking about the phone call we got that her dad was in the ER and not feeling well.  As we gathered more information it wasn’t sounding good, so we started planning a trip to their home town.  (2.5 hour drive)  Then we get a call cause the hospital where he was at freaked out and called in a helicopter to take him to Oklahoma City.  Wow, Great.

So we started to panic pack and found a home for our dog for the night and next thing  you know, we are leaving the house on a 3.5 hour trip at 10:40pm.  We arrived at the hospital about 2:15am and then arrived to the hotel about 4:00am and the bed about 4:30am.

The next morning we were up about 8:00am and back to the hospital.

We spent most of Saturday at the hospital.  This morning as we were driving from the hotel to the hospital we learned that my father in laws sister has having heart issues and was transferred to the hospital around 3:30am, so we spent time with her today while they were diagnosing her problems.

So now it’s almost 8pm and I’m writing this from the hospital.  Looks like tomorrow we might be going home with my father in law going home on Tuesday.  My wife’s aunt however probably not for awhile.  Her heart cath showed no blockages but after the ultrasound I guess she might have leaky heart valves.  We will know for sure tomorrow after the doctor visit.

I hope you had a better weekend than we did.

Insurance that is.  This week my wife is on a mission trip to Southern Mexico, so of course she is traveling out of the country.  One thing that was good to hear before her trip is that she would be covered.  And what I mean by that is she would have travel health insurance.  That way if there were any issues or problems she would have insurance with a very small deductible (better than my regular insurance) and get the help needed just in case.

For instance they were flying through Mexico City Airport and had a 4 hour layover and our church worship leader (to make a long story short) was getting a drink from a restaurant turned around, passed out and fell on his face.  They had to have medical personal come over and assist.  Good thing, he is OK and moving on with the mission trip.

After this experience (well my wife’s) I would think twice before leaving on any trip with out this insurance.
