Stuff

Last weeks dessert in the park activity was cancelled due to storms. We went to the library instead. They showed some children's halloween movies. Our neighbor Stephanie went with us. She is expecting her first child. She's very excited.

Saturday was a crazy day for me. Lori called around 7:45am and woke me up. She was having severe dizzyness. She was on the floor and couldn't get up. I went right over. I have a key, so I let myself in. This has happened once before. She has eardrops she uses when this happens. It is normally associated with her hearing loss. I put in the eardrops, but it didn't help. Normally she can get up after the drops have been in for a few minutes. Instead of feeling better she seemed to get worse. She started vomitting. I got Bruce and Brother Vance and they gave her a priesthood blessing. They left and I stayed with her for about an hour. When I left around 10am she was feeling much better. On her feet and walking. We had called Sister Higginson during all the goings on to see if she would come and clean Lori's ears out. She is the "Herb Lady." Lori relys on her quite a bit. She said she would come over before the first session of conference.

I got a call from her around 11:30am saying Lori was in her bed and couldn't roll over without the room totally spinning. I went back over. We decided that she needed to see a doctor. We weren't sure we could get her out of the house because she was so dizzy. We started calling all the doctors we could think of in the stake. Bishop Johnson called back and said we should try to get her to urgent care. There is one just down the road. I borrowed a wheel chair from a neighbor and we managed to get her up and out of the house. Becky took her to urgent care. She was diagnosed with a sinus infection and vertigo. They gave her medicine and she is doing better now. She's just going to have to listen to her body more I guess.

We went to the church for the Sunday morning session. I really enjoyed President Eyring's talk. I don't think I spelled that right. Afterwards we went to Julie and Luis's for lunch. She made a good lasagna. We started to watch the second session, but Aurora was really cranky. We came home and she slept for an hour. Mom says we missed a good talk by Dalon H. Oaks. I look forward to reading it.

I took Joy to therapy last night. We, the therapist, Bruce and Myself, have decided to try medication. I hope it will help even her emotions so that she is easier to reason with. I think Patience is also having some depression and anxiety. Probably, anxiety more than anything.

It is my "big" shop day. I better get it done. I'm going out to lunch with some of the ladies from church to celebrate Laurie Bliss's birthday.

Have a good day.
