  • UPDATE

    First let me say a great big thanks, and God's blessing to all those that resonded to my last post.  More than once it brought tears to my eyes when I realized that people were willing to pray for us from all over the U.S.

    We just got back from the doctor.

    Pop was feeling bad enough that he consented to let his #5 daughter (Valerie) go with us to the doctor.

    There was only one problem with this..... just before we left, daughter #4 called and asked.  "Did you just get back home?"  for just a minute my mind went in all directions.....(Where had we went?... Is my mind failing me? ...  Did I forget where I went?)  All of a sudden it dawned on me ......  Valerie wasn't the olny one involved in this.  Our children were working against us (or for us), they had ganged together to get Val, to get Pop to the doctor.   It didn't help matters any when we got to the doctor and we said something about this, the nurse looked at Val and said, "Yes, it's almost as hard to raise parents as it is to raise teenagers, they won't listen to you"

    I would say this. Since they didin't listen to us when they were teens, now it's our turn to not listen to them.

    We went to a walk-in clinic and that doctor let us know there was reason for concern, and didn't think it was a good idea to wait for 2 weeks till we could get  in to see the other doctor again.

    Pop's blood pressure was 159/107 (he had just taken a pill a couple hours before)

    The doctor did an EKG and gave him another pill to take, a pill for his headaches, and sent us home telling us to se our regular doctor tomorrow morning (in the same clinic)  So tomorrow we have an appointment at 10am to see our doctor.  Pop came home, took pills and went to bed.

    I don't know what I'd do without my blogging friend to fill my day while Pop is in bed.  Thanks you all, and God bless you all.  Please, keep praying.

  • Thanks for the update on Pop ... It's nice to have kids that don't listen to parents (once in a while ;) ... I'll say an extra measure of prayer for Pop tonight and that the drs have God's guidance to treat him. Hugs

  • Hi Gramma,   Sorry to hear that Pop is not feeling well.  We just got back from a quick trip to S Carolina, then from there we went in to Hag. then in to PA. for a wedding and now we are home, so I'm just getting caught up on my all my friends. We had a 50th anni. cele. for mom and dad and I'm hoping to get pics on my site one of these days!!!   But for now I have my garage sale to get ready for !!!!   You all take care and we to will keep you in our prayers!!!! Have a good day!!!         

  • Thanks for your comment! I'm sure you have many behind-the-scenes-at-wedding stories to tell!

    Praying they'll be able to find out the cause for the BP. Exactly a year ago my dad discovered he had high BP. It took them a while to get it all back under control. His one med made him so sleepy.

  • Thank you for the update and I will update the prayer wall.  Be sure you continue to update us with his progress and the great things God is doing!

  • Thankfully, I have subscribed to your blog and received this update earlier today. I know there is news since then. Many prayers are going up for you and Pop. You remain in my heart. God is with you, I know.

  • Wondering how things are going? Yes, Kaylin is the one you made cry the day she was born.. She is very forgiving by nature and I don't think you have a thing to worry about:) I treasure the pictures! The above comment has me worried.. I might have to get on the phone.. Love to you both, Kim

  • I'm sorry that my comment made you worry, Kim. There is more information on Gramma's #2 daughter's blog (I'm not sure if she goes by Mrs. Darling here like she does on her blog or not). If you would like the URL to her blog, please e-mail me at SuzyQ4212001@yahoo.com.

  • This is Pasco Mom and I am wondering if you are back in Id. or still on your trip? We pray that stan will get his bp. down soon and all goes well.

  • Praying for your family!

  • Continuing to pray for you all. I've been checking for updates on your daughter's site as well. Juanita

  • Will be praying for you.  I wanted to come out this summer and see you but my mom just had knee replacements on both knees, so I am going home to help her. When I think of you and Pop there is a lot of good memories. Maybe a part of my heart is still out there. I love you! Dorcas

  • I will leave the details for Gramma's next entry.  I'll just say I am on a hospital computer in Boise, ID.  Thank you all for your prayers.

  • I'm sorry to hear this and hope the Lord and the Dr. will bring swift help with your husband's health. Lifting up a prayer for him tonight.
