Slow Down

Sometimes this life forces us to slow down...
      and it's okay.

June has flown by me.
   My birthday trip was a sweet success, and I am gonna post pictures later.
The following week after my birthday, and I mean directly on June 18th my daddy had a massive heart attack. He does have a history of heart attacks, and etc. This was a "big one Elizabeth!" I told him, "If anything, we've got to spend a lot of time together:) " , and you know what....now I sure do miss him when I'm not staying with him. My Aunt Susan, and Aunt Jan are big helps: we are all taking our turns looking after my daddy and granny, and well..really each other. My granny doesn't know who we are most of the time. She's a precious soul.
   Also, I've gotten to spend time with my Harold Jr., and my Sam I Am, and I've gotten to talk with my J.D. who is living a life of adventure....Well we all are aren't we....the best we can:)
  I'm so proud of them. 
Harold Jr. is going to med school in August, and he is gonna be an awesome Dr.
Samantha is teaching special education, and she longs to help those who are in need of love.
 J.D. is a master carpenter, the best I know, and if you meet him=you'll say the same. He just bought a big ol' sail boat, and he can build anything!
All of these kids are passionate about it all...and passion is important...."Don't lose your passion"
    Before the Boom! with it all, I had noticed some stuff going on with myself...of course I put it off..
    Today, I went to see my Dr's office folk.
Previously, I had an abnormal EKG/ECG, and they sent me for a stress test. I passed.

Today, I watched her print out several pages in her attempts to print a clear copy..."It doesn't show you've had a heart attack, but there are some changes. You need another stress test."
There were some other things that I was concerned about....and so now...
I'm getting an XRay of my spine and etc. and a thallium stress test. I did sneak a peak at the EKG/ECG, and saw this ,Sinus Bradycardia and Possible Right Ventricular Hypertrophy. Perhaps I shouldn't have looked. My followup appointment is the first week in August.

I thought I had put on weight, but indeed I have lost 6.2 lbs since May 30! a total loss of 27lbs. 
I am concerned, and will be asking about my exercise limitations. I walked on the treadmill, and wanted to cry...it is so boring!!! I wanted to run!!!!
 AHHHHH!!!! Help me Jesus!!!! 


Maybe I'm freaking out, but don't think for a moment that my heart is weak! God's breath is in me.

So all in all...please pray for me, and my entire family through this season .
God is our strength.

Our Hope Endures
