Last year was just not a good health year for James' family. First there was everything we went through with A.J. with more specialist than anyone should ever have to see in a life time.
In April, James' mom had a cancer scare. Thank goodness it turned out to JUST be a grapefruit-sized ovarian cyst but it was removed on the same day it was discovered in emergency surgery just to be sure. She was off of work for about six weeks afterwards.
James' dad had all kinds of medical issues that while none of them were too severe, he ended up missing lots of work including the last two weeks of the year with a mysterious foot infection.
Then James grandmother had a stroke in October that took away her independence. Then she started getting UTI's that were very difficult to control. She past away the Friday before Christmas.
And it spread a bit to my family too. My grandfather has had two strokes in the past three months.
We kind of thought that with the New Year, the worst was behind us and that 2008 would be a better year health wise for everyone. But yesterday, James' dad had a heart attack. Tomorrow he will have quadruple bypass surgery.
Maybe 2009 will be better.

Sorry to hear about James' Dad. We'll remember him in our prayers.
