Aunt Doris

Hi to all,

Mom came home from the hospital on Saturday and is feeling good. She was so happy to be able to sleep in her own bed last night. She needs to take things easy but says she is okay with that. Thank you for all your prayers and concern.

Aunt Doris

Mom is in St. Francis Hospital and will probably be there till Saturday. She had a heart attack and an angioplasty done yesterday (Wednesday). The doctor replaced a stint she already had with a bigger one to allow for better blood flow. She is feeling better but is still tired from the whole ordeal. The doctor said there was some damage but will not know for several weeks if it is permanent or not. Please say prayers for her.

HAPPY St. PATRICK's DAYfamily We owe so much to our ancestors who traveled from Ireland to this country. They had nothing and due to their hard work and assimilating their selves into the culture of the United States, look where we are today. We have so much to be thankful for, so I hope all celebrate St. Patrick's day with a look to the past and to the future.
Love,
Pete

Good news!

Our family got some good news about one of Celeste's grandsons. Riley who is 7, was hospitalized for bacterial pneumonia and was a very sick little boy for almost 2 weeks. He is finally at home with his Daddy and older brothers. He is still on medication but things are looking so much better. His little cousin, Daxton, who is the youngest of Celeste's grandchildren was also sickened with pneumonia but not the bacterial variety. He was not hospitalized and his parents were able to administer his medication and do breathing treatments with him at home. We have been wondering if Celeste was trying to win the Grandmother of the Year Award as she tried to divide her time and support between them!! We are so happy that both little boys are on the way to good health.
