Fun with Jr. High Football

So Michael decided to go out for 8th grade football this year. He has never played football. But, he thought it would be good exercise and a fun way to get to jump on people and not get in trouble. It has been a fun season. He hasn't played in a game against another school yet. But, he has played in the game against the 7th graders and will most likely play in the game today. He has learned alot about stretching out his muscles and running. It has been a fun time for our family to support his team at the games. It is a way to get to yell with out everyone looking at you like your doing something wrong. So "Go Lobos" can't wait to see if he will play next year. But, Ben is going to go out for 7th grade football next year. So it will be fun!

Grandma Johnson's Heart Attack

At the end of August around the 24th I think. I called my mom as usual in the morning after I drop the kids off at school. She answered the cell phone and I asked her "How are you doing today"? She answered me with "I think I died last night, But, I am still alive today and I don't know what to do!" So I asked her to tell me what happened. She said that she woke of from being a sleep in the recliner chair and she couldn't tell where she was, like her legs and her arms. She couldn't tell where they were. She thought it might be sugar level problems and so she got up to walk to the bathroom to test her levels. She could see well enough to test her fingers. But, there was nothing wrong with her sugar levels they were not elevated. She then started feeling like she was going to pass out so she went back to her bed. She then took her pulse and blood pressure. The pulse was at 144 bpm and her blood pressure was elevated. She never had any pain. Well she then told her self that she was having a panic attack and needed to just lay down and rest. But, in the morning when I called her blood pressure was still elevated and her heart was still racing at 144 bpm even when she was sitting still. So she was waiting for a call from her Doctor to see what she should do. Well the doctor called and said that she needed to have someone drive her to the heart hospital on baseline and ironwood. So my Step - Grandfather Jake drove her to the hospital. Then I didn't hear from her again until 2:00 p.m. when she called to tell me that she had a heart attack it was a heart attack in the electrical side of the heart. She is a survivor of the heart attack. But, she is very limited with what she can do. It has been a very big learning experience. She was at the Doctor yesterday and the Heart specialist was telling her that her type of heart attack is on the rise in fact it has increased over 200 % this last year. I am so glad that the Lord saw fit to give us a miracle that day. She is a great inspiration to me and my children and has a awesome testimony of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I just never new you could have a heart attack with out any pain. Wow.
