A scare!

This is a picture of Susan and David and Don when they were visiting us in Hawaii. Susan is the healthiest person in our family, but Davy called us today to tell us that Susan was in the hospital with a blood clot in her lung! We were getting ready to go to Houston on Saturday, so we just loaded the car and came on to see how she was doing. She's doing great, and we thank God for that.

It seems that this is a complication of the birth control she has been using, so she won't be using that anymore! We are so blessed that she's in great health and that she had some pains to give her clues before it got any more serious than it is. In many people it goes straight to the brain and they have strokes, which would be much more serious than it is at this point. They are giving her injections of heparin and also coumadin pills. They will keep her in the hospital for 3 to 5 days and monitor her blood before they let her go home. She seems to be doing fine, considering all she has on her plate right now. We thank God that she's doing so well; we need her!

We will check on her early in the morning and then head to Houston if she is still doing this well. It has been good to see David and Bruce and Erica, too. It's been a scary day, but God is taking care.
