Crazy, Scary Weekend

This weekend was one that won't be forgotten! Other then it being the start of a new year - Ty got a real big scare. On Saturday he had started having chest pain that would last about a hour and then go away. At first he didn't want to go to the hospital - but after telling him that chest pain is bad no matter what - we agreed that if it happened again we would go to the e.r. 4 a.m Sunday morning - it started again. At the e.r. they found that it was a blood clot in his right lower lung. It is a huge thing - and all the nurses kept on telling us how lucky Ty was to be alive and told him he had cheated death. He was in for 2 days but is now home where I want him to stay! He is on medicine to thin his blood. One of the meds - would have cost $502 if we didn't have insurance! Thank goodness we have insurance - it cut the cost to almost nothing. We have A LOT to be greatful for this new year! And Ty made a promise that we wouldn't ring in 2008 the same way we rang in 2007!
