I think by now, most of you know that my dad went in for a stint to be put into a blood vessel going into his heart this last week...The Dr told him he would have been dead within 2 months if he hadn't gotten it fixed. They wanted to fix it 2 weeks ago, but they evidently called on one of the times that he couldn't hear so he didn't get the message.
Me and my siblings are now taking turns sleeping over night there to help out if either of them need help during the night. So far, I am hearing that mom is a nightmare to tend at night. She is up with something that is terribly wrong...dad gave away her baby or someone took all her money, and she is just frantic about it and crying hysterically about it. My turn starts tomorrow night. I can hardly wait! if it is too bad, I may not go to education week at BYU after all. It starts tomorrow, but Gordon gets married tomorrow...so I will basically miss that day. So if she is as bad as I hear she is and I have to miss most of Wed too....well, I will probably just not go at all. We still have plenty to get done around here cause I am really months behind while we focused on finishing up the playhouse, had family here, and then were camping for a week.
Kim and I have both decided that we're not going to fix anything that could take us out after the age of 72, so you all just better count on that! We are not going to repeat my mother's history if it is in our power to stop it!!!
We enjoyed dinner that we took over to my folks last night with Emmy, Chad & Erica; and Brett and Katie. Emmy kept us entertained...cute little dolly! She is a pretty happy little kid these days! My mom kept saying in a serious way all night, "I think that she is MY baby", and she wasn't sure she was going to let her go with the "Groneman bunch" home. Did she make you nervous, Chad and Erica?

Grandpa told me that he and Grandma had a similar pact as yours, except theirs was set at 65. Obviously that hasn't worked out.
Don't worry too much about Emmy and Erica chad. Mom would NEVER harm Emmy, and when any other adult is present, they could confirm to mom that Emmy is yours and Erica's.
