What a week!!

I must say this has definitely been a strange week. I loved Christmas and I'll post all about that soon but I had some other eventful days. Last Saturday I got a call from my mom telling me that my uncle had died. I knew it was coming since he had been in the hospital for months and moved to hospice not long after he went into the hospital. We didn't think he would last a day without the iv's that he had in him but luckily he lasted another few weeks. He had been sick for years and no one could figure out why but it turns out that he had an organism in his body that only 8 out of 1,000,000 people get. And there was no cure. We had the funeral on Thursday.

And to top the cake.... I got a call from my dad last night and my mom was admitted to the hospital after feeling a tightness on the left side of her chest. Everything is okay but it totally freaked me out! My mom is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her! Luckily, I don't have to think about that but I had a major scare! I went to the hospital today and stayed until she was released. They are putting her on medication to straighten her out. I just hate seeing my mom sick, it breaks my heart.
