Hey Guys! How has everyone been? It has been pretty hectic since my last blog post. Around June 10th my grandpa was sent to the hospital because he had a diabetic ulcer on his foot. While in the hospital they discovered my grandpa had a heart problem. Instead of his heart beating the right way it flutters. They talked about shocking his heart and open heart surgery. Well they decided to shock his heart here recently. Before they could shock his heart they had to stop his heart completely. Pretty scary right?.. Well the good news was it worked! His heart was beating normally again! On July 22nd my grandma was admitted to the hospital. The night before she came to the hospital she couldn't feel her legs and couldn't stand on her own. My grandma is really really overweight. So she has had many health problems but hasn't been to the doctors in 15 years! Anyway, the doctors at St. Bernard's said she has congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure is when blood doesn't pump to the heart right. She is still in the hospital and we don't when she will be home. When she is able to come home, I am going to stay with her for a little while. Yesterday, July 24, we went to the hospital to see her before my grandpa had to go to the heart doctor. Remember how I told you that his heart was beating the right way again? Well, it is beating irregular again.. In about a month my grandpa will return to the hospital to have cardiac ablation done. "Cardiac ablation is a procedure that is used to scar small areas in your heart that may be involved in your rhythm problems." "Cardiac Ablation Procedures." MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia. Web. 25 July 2017. If you don't mind, I was wondering if everyone would take a moment and say a prayer for my grandparents. Thank you. Until my grandma gets out and my grandpa gets back from work I am dog sitting for them. Well one of their dogs Reba is about to go into heat so she won’t leave my dog Wade alone. So my grandpa is on his way back to Arkansas to come and get her to take her with him. Oh, I almost forgot to tell y'all, my grandpa is a truck driver. So I’ll just have their black pug Nana. Anyway, let’s change the subject. I recently remember that we have to take the Accuplacer. Does anyone know what score we have to make? I have to talk to Ms. Shey about when I can go and take it. So it looks like I will be taking some practice test online. This is now over 350+ words so I will be ending it in a minute. So it is currently storming and my lights just flickered. I was like “Nooooo!” It would get majorly hot in my house is our electricity was turned off. This is my 10th blog post so I have 1 more left!! There may be some exciting news in my next blog post!:) See ya later! Have a good summer!

I bet that was pretty scary- I'm glad he's okay though! It's good to get some things checked out and fixed up before they get worse. Like when my dad went to the hospital due to heart problems. He had to get a stint in his heart. I hope that he's gonna be doing okay from now on! Hospitals are the scariest places to go to in my opinion but they help a lot with people having medical issues, they do all they can and that's awesome. I hope everything's doing okay over there! and that you've had a good summer! Cya! - Tatum T
