Downs and Ups

Greetings humans and most others,

We have had such a strange few days around here. Thursday night sometime, Missy Carol had a major heart attack in her sleep! She is on vacation in California visiting with her daughter and family. You remember Missy Carol, don't you? She has been in a lot of my party pictures and adventure pictures. She is Missy Linda's cousin. The more they have gotten to know each other these last few years, the more they find that they have in common. Of course, their fathers were twin brothers, so that might explain it.

Anyway, Missy Carol had to be resuscitated by her son-in-law so it was a very big deal! None of us could believe it! Missy Linda says that she is doing well now, and the doctors expect her to make a full recovery after she has blockages fixed in two more blood vessels. She got three stints in one artery this time, but she is in a facility that is not equipped to do any more. We are all so extremely relieved that she should be all right. She still has a long row to hoe to get there though. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers along with us because she needs to stay here with us a lot longer. She is that person that most people might call feisty. I would call her that, for sure. The slumber parties that the ladies have once a month would not be nearly as much fun without Missy Carol. She brings a lot to my life and to Missy Linda's life and to Missy Barb's life, and they have just gotten to know each other the last few years.

GET WELL SOON, MISSY CAROL! WE NEED YOU!
