Update

They had some problems with Shelly yesterday and told my Dad that they couldn't do anything else for her here, so they decided to fly her to University of Colorado in Denver. The left around 2:30 or so this morning, and are wading through her chart to figure out the next step. The last plan was that they would put her on a bypass machine to give her heart a little break. She has started going into heart failure, so they need to figure out what caused that before they can do anything else. They think that most of the problems are probably stemming from the malabsorption issue... not being able to get the things that she needs. She was supposed to go to Seattle back in March or April, but the guy that Shelly works for wouldn't let her off of work. If she would have been able to go then, the probably would have solved the problem and we wouldn't be here, but there's not much we can do about that now. They were being paid by living in this man's house, and since Shelly hasn't been to work since May 13th, he is kicking them out. That's right- she is on her death bed and he's trying to evict them. So much for honest and caring people. So the rest of this week my two older sisters and I will be going through Dad and Shelly's stuff trying to figure out what needs to go where and getting it all packed into a storage unit until they find out where they're going to hang their hats. Things are obviously tense right now, but we're all holding it together, and thank you so much for all of your love and support! It's so much appreciated! Take care!

Hey, how are things going there? How's Shelly doing now? I've been itching to tell you to post something new, but I know you've been busy. Well, I've given you a week - Post something new! :)
