Update on my heart...I am doing well. The recovery has been a little harder than I expected. Just a week or so ago I started to have symptoms of a stroke. My whole left side of my body went numb. I could not feel my foot or my arm and I started to lose vision in my left eye. This greatly alarmed me. I went into the doctor and they did a few tests and discovered that I am asprin resistant. They have me on a lot of blood thinners so I won't get blood clots. Well I guess the medicine is not working as well as it should so the doctor changed some medicine and now I have to have shots in my stomach twice a day of blood thinners. This I guess is to prevent clots from forming around the device in my heart which causes these symptoms of a stoke. The blood thinner is making me bruise really easily. It has helped with not having as much numbness which I am very grateful. Hopefully this won't last long. The doctor said that it might take up to a whole year to fully heal before I won't have these symptoms--yippy. Actually it is very scarey to not be able to feel my arm and leg and to lose my vision. I am grateful it wasn't a stoke and the medicine seems to be helping.
We are excited that the "Uncle David Club" is growing and becoming such a big club. We are proud to announce that in the last 3 months that we have four new additions to the club. Kira McMillan born March 20, Lily Stevens born April 22, and just recently we welcomed twins Abigail and Jane Boyer into the familiy on June 3. We now have 15 exclusive club memebers. We love them all!!

The first time we met Abigail and Jane. They are very small. Abigail weighed 4 lbs 8 oz and Jane weighed 3 lbs 8 oz. They will be in the NICU for a while. We are grateful they are doing good. They are just really little.

Juliann, you poor thing! I'm glad at least they discovered what was causing the problem--being aspirin resistant. You deserve a medal for how well you have handled all these things...and how awesome that you have been able to meet all these little babes!
