DETOUR

A quick update.....Cliff has not been feeling well for about a month now. (Fevers, chills,  high heart rate and a hard time breathing) Last week he ended up in the hospital for a few days with a high fever and heart rate. Yesterday we came in for a procedure to drain what they thought was a pocket of fluid near his liver.  What they found was a very large pocket of infection. This afternoon Cliff started to feel sick and had a fever. After talking to the doctors at Huntsman they determined that we needed to get to the hospital asap. What we know right now is that the infection that was in the pocket is a staff infection, thankfully MRSA has been ruled out.  Cliff has been admitted to the hospital and we will probably be here for a couple of days. 

Yesterday as we were waiting for our car we noticed a lady, obviously battling some sort of cancer. She was on her phone asking for a taxi to come pick her up and wanted to know how long it would be before they could get there because she was in so much pain. I turned to Cliff to ask him if he felt well enough for us to take her home and he said, "yes".  We turned back around and she was gone. We looked for her inside and were so sad when we couldn't find her. It is times like this that we are reminded of all of our blessings. We have six amazing children that are always here for us, the best of friends and neighbors, and a car that can get us where we need to go.  Thank you for all of your love and support. We are so very blessed!!

Go! Fight! Win!!
