Happy 4thof July

Whew!!!!!! Busy busy Year! Thanks for all your prayers this year has been full of some scary times but also many many blessings.
Brian had his pacemaker implanted in January, that was my last update and it has been crazy since then.
Brett made us over the edge excited and happy when he asked Kelly to marry him!! She accepted, Yeah!!, and they have planned a destination wedding to Mazatlan Mexico for the 14th of August. We get to spend two weeks all together with friends and family.
The wedding is getting close and we are so excited.
Quite unexpectedly his younger sister Mary passed away in February. She lived in Spokane so we went up to Washington with Kim, his older sister, and we cleaned out her apartment. We were able to donate everything even food to the domestic violence program. Normally they don't have the space to store furniture and just take household goods and clothing. We were blessed to be able to move Mary's furniture and belonging right into and apartment of a young mother who left a violent situation with the clothes on her and her children's backs. It was awesome to be able to provide in tragedy- a fresh start for a young family.
We ended our time up north by going to Seattle to be there for Will's 1st Birthday!!!!
I think it was what the Dr ordered for grandpa! We are so blessed to share that time with Brianne, Scott and Will. Thanks to Mike and Kathy, Scott's parents, we had a lovely place to stay and a wonderful time with family.
Back home we waited for Brian to form scar tissue around his pacemaker leads since that stubborn A-Fib was still causing havoc.
In the meantime I busied myself with helping with several weddings and proms doing over 29 different alterations!!!!!!
Brian's leads finally healed enough for him to undergo his hopefully last surgery, an Ablation. The surgery was done May 21st and during the 7 hour procedure he had leads threaded up from his thighs into his heart and the tissue around the vessels in his heart were cauterized to form scar tissue to prevent the electrical impulses from jumping from the vessels and causing the chaotic havoc that was leading to the A-Fib.
The great news is that he has been in regular sinus rhythm since surgery!!! The answer to many many prayers. He is getting stronger and feeling better everyday! We are looking forward to Brett and Kelly's wedding and spending time with family and friends. Grandpa is ready to make pancakes for Will and take daily naps with him.
Love and Blessings to all
