almost 2 years ago at age 36. She had to have 4 stents placed in two different arteries in her heart to help with the flow. To top it off, she had the heart attacks 4 days after she gave birth to our sixth girl. She is still going strong, but has to take blood thinners daily and doesn't have as much energy as she used to.

We really appreciate every day we have together now. Not that I didn't take it for granted before, but I appreciate her being around every single day now.

Hang in there. the next couple months will be rough, but gets better, especially once school starts back up and everyone is into a routine again.
