A little story

Hello,

So sorry that my blog is so boring!! Unfortunately lately we haven't had much time to go play. That or I just haven't taken pictures of anything. We're still just kinda the same old same old. I've dove right into school and things are going well, and really fast!! I'll be graduated before I know it!! (Thank goodness) Mike is still trying to look for a job. : ( He gets really frustrated sometimes about not being able to find anything. At least not around here. But he's doing well. He's been a little stressed though. : ( We're doing a lot better than some of our extended family has lately! We've had extreme endometriosis, colon polyps and dead intestines!! It started out with Erin (Jake's (Mike's brother) girlfriend). She was over at Cindy's house and just doubled over in extreme pain. We were thinking maybe it was just a kidney stone or something like that, but they preformed surgery and found that things were kind of a mess in there. They ended up wrapping all of her organs in some sort of saran wrap material and putting it all back in! She's doing great now. My sister in-law who has been having some problems of her own had to go have 50 polyps removed the next day after Erins little episode!! 50 is a lot! But she's doing fine now too. And last but definitely not least there is Kevin. He is Mike's uncle who has been having quite the ordeal. He suffers from Chrones disease, and as a result has had to have part of his intestine removed. Well so that means that he only had about 10 feet of intestine to work with. That sounds like a lot but it's not really. Anyway he went to the hospital where they found he had a perferated bowel which had caused a huge infection to the rest of his insides. Because of the infection they had to remove 6 more feet of intestine leaving him with 2 feet altogether! That 2 feet then became infected as well. They tried to repair it, but it died off anyway. So he had to be life flighted to Pittsburg where he had some kind of advance surgery which I had never heard of before. He is still in Pittsburg now. The surgery went how it was supposed to and now Kevin just has to live at that hospital until they can find donor intestine for him. Talk about nuts!! Just makes me grateful that Mike and I are healthy! Hope everything is well with everybody! : )
