Health

Last night was rough....well the past few months have been rough, especially for my wife and inlaws.  On Sunday morning, we received a phone call about the ambulance at M's parents house because of my other in law again.  My mother in law is still battling her heart condition and has been in and out of the hospital since the heart attack.  She was released yestarday finally but the doctor gave some pretty devastating news.  It's hard to determine what to do with his diagnosis because he is the 3rd opinion and none of the opinions have matched up.  Doctor said that my mother in law has a disorder where her vessels contract instead of expand when she's overly exerting herself (eg. exercise, heavy walking, etc..), and because of that if she has a clot it will result in a heart attack.  He said this disorder is untreatable and uncurable.  None of her previous two cardiologists even mentioned this.  Regardless, I'm sure she'll end up going somewhere like Palo Alto or somewhere to get checked out by a team of specialized cardiologists, but in the mean time it's a scary situation.  M's mom feels like a heart attack could hit at any moment.  M keeps saying it's like a time bomb, and everyone's walking on spikes hoping not to fall.

Difficult to handle this of course.  Though I'm not extremely devout in my faith in Christ, I do believe and I have faith that there is a reason for all of this.  However, watching my family struggle is painful and its difficult to justify a reason for this.  Just to show that we should be fortunate for every day that we can share with our loved ones.
