Title: Things are happening at a pretty good clip. . .
Post by: Gus on November 22, 2003, 09:09:24 AM
around here. Left work yesterday early for a trip to Fargo. Seems my #2 daughter Heidi, who is in college up there, has taken to seizures. I went up there last night to take her to get an MRI. They've taken her license away for now. Never got home til midnight. Was up at 5:30 milking the cows for one of the neighbor boys. He took his bride to her mothers for the upcoming holiday.
When I milk over there his dad always helps, he knows the set-up very well and all I have to do is slide in and swing milkers. He was telling me this A.M. that he has a cyst on one of his kidney's and is going into surgery on Dec. 29th.
You guys would like old Bob, he's the salt of the earth. I always enjoy his company when I'm milking.
Back home to do my chores. Got the kids all outside, fresh snow. I can see them out the window playing in the snow and trying to get a track pounded down the side of the hill to go sledding. They'll be soaked when they get in.
Thanks for listenin'
Gus

Hey Gus,

How is the wife doing ?

Seems this year is filling your plate with testing your character (spirit, well being)!

A daughter with seziures,  friends with health failure and a wife in recovery.

Will continue to pray for you and your family.

BTW - did you get a mill?

My  daughter started having seizures when she was 12 years old.  There was a leision between her brain and skull, said it had been there since birth.  We let the doctors treat it with medicine for a couple of years but sometimes she still had them.  Finally we let them do surgery.  She is fine now.  I wish you the best of luck.
