So my mom's doctor/surgeon sent my mom's file and information to a doctor at Cleveland Clinic. That doctor looked over it, and guess what he said? "Let the poor girl heal." Apparently they've been doing unnecessary procedures and just not letting my mom's body health itself. How ridiculous? I am not happy with that hospital/doctor at all! It's ridiculous! My parents should definitely look into possibly seeing what a lawyer has to say about all this. This is just outrageous. All the … [Read more...]
Tuesday Afternoon Update
They figured out why my mom is losing blood - apparently when they went to put the stent in to stop the bleeding where the surgery was done, they put the stent in the wrong place. Like, really? Needless to say, we're not very happy. We haven't heard anything about what they're going to do because they didn't put a stent where it was supposed to go while they had her under last night. They just took the stent out. I'm going up to see my mom and dad after I drop Miles off at work, so … [Read more...]
Update
My dad just called me. He should be getting released tomorrow, as long as nothing happens. My mom, on the other hand... they did an exploratory procedure today at 5pm to try and figure out where she's losing blood. She's had about 8 transfusions in the past 4 days because they have no idea where she's losing it from. My dad called down to her nurse, and the nurse hadn't heard anything from the 4 doctors that are trying to figure out mom's case. So we don't know if they figured anything out. … [Read more...]

Update On My Mom and Now My Dad
Well... you know how my mom is in the hospital? Well, she's still there. This Tuesday it will be a month since she's been in. :( The past 3 days she's had to have 5 blood transfusions because she's losing blood and they don't even know where from. They're going to do some procedure tomorrow to hopefully figure out what's going on. So please keep her in your prayers. And if that isn't all enough, my dad is now in the hospital as well. Today I got him out of the hospital and we went to … [Read more...]
Where to Find Wine Online
What is your favorite way to relax at night after a long day of taking care of the kids or working? For me, it would be sitting on the couch, catching up on my television shows on DVR and drinking a nice glass of wine. There's only one problem to that equation, though - wine can be so expensive, am I right? Especially the good quality wines. And the cheap ones? I doubt they're even made from real grapes! Well I've got a great site for you to check out! Whether you're looking for pinot … [Read more...]
