It is FALL!!!

I cannot believe that it is already Fall again!  It is getting cooler here, which is a great blessing after the hottest summer on record in Kansas.

My mother finally had her CT scan last week after having it canceled for three times by Medicare  (thanks Obama)  They found a spot on her liver and a spot on her kidney and some cysts in her intestines.  She is finally going to see a Gastroenterologist tomorrow 9/27/2012 and he will probably perform a colonoscopy and other tests.  I hope the medical professionals find out what is causing my mother so much abdominal pain before it is too late for anything to be done about it.

Clinton's sister Charlotte had to go into the hospital yesterday for another stint in her heart to open up an artery that was 99% blocked.   We are so glad that they did it before she had another heart attack.  She is doing better now and is supposed to go home today.

One week from today we will be going to Kansas City to spend the night at the Hotel by the airport so we can catch our 6am flight on Thursday morning October 4th, 2012 from Kansas City, MO to Honolulu, HI!!!!  I cannot wait to see my son John.  It has been almost two years since I have seen him and will probably cry when I do.  I miss my children so much and wish that I were closer to any of them.

Clinton was set apart this past Sunday, September 23, 2012 as the second counselor in the High Priest Group Leadership.  Gene Stithem is the President, and John Wright is 1st counselor and Dennis Miller is the Secretary.  Brother Slack was released so they had to reorganize again.  Clinton's blessing/setting apart was done by Brother Wright--as he is still a High Councilman.  He gave Clinton a very special blessing.  And they all loved my chocolate chip cookies that I had left over from Relief Society.
