Crazy Week

Been awhile since I have posted and lots of things have happened. This week went by in a blurr, where to start. Thursday night we wrapped up our Chick Chat group by having dinner at Jose Peppers. It was a great way to finish our chick chat group, we didn't have all of the girls who came but most of them.

Then friday night came and I got to hang out with two of my best girlfriends, Ashley and Dara. Dara was in town from Wichita to plan her sisters baby shower. It was a wonderful evening of catching up and a much needed time with the girls. It was like I see Dara everyday and she let me vent and talk about all my issues. I have always said that my friends don't have fertility issues, which they do not, but it was very nice to have and know that my friends do want to know more about it. They will not judge me or tell me that I shouldn't talk about the fertility issues we have. Most of the time it seems like once I start talking about fertility issues walls come up. Dara and Ashley both have let me talk about it without judgement, along with other friends and I will be forever grateful to them.

Then Saturday morning my mother, husband, son and I went shopping in Lawrence. I was finally able to find some new shirts to wear because Topeka did not have anything I wanted.

Saturday afternoon, it all the sudden got really hot and this was the time that my father was going to run in the Warrior Dash. He is in great shape and works outside in the heat every weekend and runs a lot of evenings in the heat. I was not really worried about him, but at almost 4:45 my mom called me and said that Dad passed out at the finish line and that she should go up. I immediately hopped in the car and went to my parents house to go up to KC with my mom. Walking into the ER and seeing my Dad was very hard. He had suffered from heat stroke and was still very out of it when we showed up. Thankfully the EMT's responded very quickly with the ice and the IV fluids that he came around very quickly. It was scary to see him like that though, he is my father and I don't want to loose him, not yet.

When we were up in KC, there was a 28yr old and 31 year old who had also suffered heat stroke that day (along with >9 other; When my parents were checking out this morning, they were told that the 28yr looked like he was not going to make it. They were supposed to do the Warrior Dash again today, but thankfully they cancelled it due to the heat. It is crazy to me that you can go into this event and never go home. Sad, but I feel very blessed that my father is doind good, still has a bit of a road to recovery but God was watching out for him yesterday.

Until next time, I hope that the everything finds all of you well.
