Fun Weekend

So this was a fun weekend for us. Saturday morning I ran my very first 5K...it was a Halloween fun run in Watauga. Ryan and Rachelle were here for the World Series Game 4 so they competed with me. Rachelle was kind enough to run with me and Ryan went way ahead of us. I finished and that was my concern. Of course I had to walk some...I didn't run the whole way. I feel so proud that I finally finished a 5K at my age. I hope to do it again soon and try to get a better time and someday maybe RUN the whole 3.2 miles. Saturday night Christy got us tickets at Billy Bobs for Dwight Yoakum. It was probably the best seats I have ever had for a concert! Front and center...he put on a great show and he can still shake a leg! So tonight Ryan and Rachelle are at the Rangers game...how awesome is that? Hope they get a win tonight. Go Rangers!!

Picture of Me!!

Somebody took a pic of me when I wasn't looking. Anyway they thought it was good enough to put on a sign.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Today is Rudy and Lila's 45th Wedding Anniversary.

Update on Rita

Just wanted to let everyone know Rita is still at Plaza Medical Hospital...I believe it has been 13 days now. They are still working to get her platelets back up. They have continued to drop since she has been hospitalized and they cannot figure out why. I talked to her today and she said finally her platelets are coming back up. So she is hoping to go home in a few days. Please keep Rita in your prayers. By the way, her room number has changed...she is now in #608. She will be returning to San Antonio to see her transplant doctors next week.

This One Strikes Too Close to Home.

Update on Rita

Just wanted to update Rita's condition__ she is still in the hospital and was told it may be midweek before she goes home. Her platelets are still low and they are trying to determine what is causing that to happen. They did an ultrasound on her liver and spleen a couple of days ago and are giving her a drip of a blood thinner. Rita is feeling pretty good and is so ready to go home. If they put her on coumadin, it will take a few days to regulate it. We have decided Rita is a medical mystery..haha ...we need DR HOUSE!

IN MEMORY OF

WILLIAM L MARTINEZ (aka Willie, Marty)
1932-1996

Today, August 21, would have been Willie's birthday. Let us remember him today as we pause for a moment in remembrance. Happy Birthday Willie.

Rita

For those of you who don't already know, Rita is back in the hospital. I didn't post earlier because we think she is going home everyday..but she is still there. She went to the hospital on Sunday, thinking she was very dehydrated. Actually, her potassium levels were way too high which can be just at dangerous as when they are too low. Not sure what caused that...we think it was one of her meds. Anyway, her blood sugar is very hard to control and until yesterday they could not bring it down. Now, they have determined her blood platelets are dropping and are trying to consult with her transplant doctors in San Antonio about why and what to do. She is really doing well and is not being monitered by any machines there so she is ready to go home. I just wanted to let everyone know that she is in the hospital but seems to be doing pretty well. She is at Plaza Medical Hospital room #409. 817-347-4700__press 6 409.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO EVA AND JOE...62 YEARS.

My California Visit

I made a last minute trip to California Saturday to escape the heat. Again, the weather did not disappoint...70's everyday I was there...that was the high!! Anyway, I connected with Brenda in Valencia and visited with her, Al, and Mason. I also got to see Teresa and her family. Later in the day Brenda and I drove to La Crescenta to visit Betty. It was really great to visit with Betty too. Lindsay came to pick me up there after work. I think Linds found a new hiking trail by Betty's house she wants to try out. It was nice to spend the whole day just catching up with everyone. I have a link below to my pictures. Just copy and paste the link. I will email you the link if you have problems.
