Ahh the Crazy life I lead.

As I sit here typing this my mom is sleeping in a hospital bed.  Princeton, Il is where we are at.  Mom and I drove out to Iowa to celebrate the graduation of Zach. We had a great time visiting and I am even thinking of bringing Sarah and Noah back in the summer. Zach showed me the dairy farm that he works at, and Hannah almost killed me when she saw me. She ran so fast and tackled me. I enjoyed getting to see Susan and meeting Perry.  Titus is growing too fast and Susan parents are very special people.  The few days I was with them made me realize just how much I miss them.  On the way home yesterday, Mom started to feel like she couldn't catch her breath.  I pulled over and she did a breathing treatment.  It really didn't seem to help but I thought if we stopped and slept she would be better in the am.  Well at 4am mom woke me and said she couldn't breath.  I decided to have the hotel call an ambulance to bring her to the closest hospital.  The staff here at Perry memorial Hospital has been great.  Knowing we are so far from home they have gone out of thier way to be helpful.  I was on my way back home early because Noah has to go into the hospital tomorrow for a scope.  I feel like crap because I am not there.  Noah has been having problems with his stomach for a little over a year now and the Doctor sent him to a specialist.  We have done blood tests and found out he is border line allergic to tomatoes, milk, and wheat.  Since Cyliac runs in our family we had that checked as well.  (that came back negative)  Tomorrow he will be in the hospital at 8am getting his scope done.  He is taking this like a trooper.  He knows this has to be done and hasn't complained at all. 
Anyway, Mom is now in the hospital for "a few days" per the er doctor.  She has been getting breathing treatments that help a little but not alot. When she moves she coughs and the breathing problems start all over again.
The next graduation is Kathalina's in June.  I am taking Noah, mom, grandma.  Paul is bringing Maclaine, Suri, and Jamie.  Chuckie says he isn't sure yet. Hopefully he can get there.  We all haven't been together at the same time since my wedding 17 years ago.  Time flies.
Well, I am going to get going so I can make a few calls.  I hope to post more later. Atleast pictures.
