Hi, hoping to get some prayers for our granddaughter Taylor. She had her tonsils out on Thursday (she had a number of strep infections this year so they advised taking them out) and last night she was rushed to the hospital as she woke up choking on blood. They have managed to control the bleeding as of now, but if it starts again they will need to operate again and cauterize the area. She was told it would be a tough recuperation, but no one expected this. She is scheduled to graduate from college in May, so she is definitely older than the average tonsil patient, but it's just the past year that she has had an issue with them.

I feel as though all we do lately is go to the local hospital. Bill had a visiting nurse visit on Thursday, she thought his blood pressure was too low, so she sent him to urgent care. They gave him and IV and sent him home, telling him to come back Friday and get his bp checked again. He called me from there to tell me they were sending him by ambulance to the hospital. They wouldn't let me drive him, the urgent care was about one mile from the hospital, so they called the ambulance, and when he got in the ambulance his bp was fine. It was fine the whole time in the hospital (they kept him overnight) and he came home yesterday. This has been one heck of a roller coaster ride and I know I am ready to get off this ride! So please, keep our family in your prayers.

Other than that, everything is just peachy keen.
