Grandma (Shirley)

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Shortly after 9pm last night, Rachel's parents called.  Her grandmother, Shirley, had had a massive stroke. She was in the hospital and not much was known at the time.  So this morning, Rachel left for Dallas to be with her grandmother and her family.

Unfortunately, the news is not good.  It appears that the damage was bad but the true extent of the damage will not be known until the swelling goes down.  She's currently in a deep sleep state, not quite a coma as she is having some response.  Rachel will stay up there for a few days as the doctors know more.

I took Evan to the baseball field for his playoff game.  We stopped at the Donut Hole on the way to the field and got donuts.  The rain that we've had caused a game last night to be suspended after two innings. That game finished up before our game so our game was delayed.  Rachel dropped Noah off at the field on her way to Dallas.  The other parents on the team really helped me out watching Noah while I coached on the field.  Evan's team won their playoff game and will have their second round game on Tuesday night.  Evan played really well throwing out a kid while playing second base and almost throwing out a kid trying to stretch a single into a double when he was playing right center.  It looked like the kid was out but the ump called him safe which drew Evan's wrath.  He was not happy.

We came home and had lunch and then went to a birthday party for a boy in Noah's class.  They had a moon bounce.  Evan loved it - he was the big kid.  He had the 4 year olds trying to tackle him in there.  He was proud that it always took two kids or more to bring him down.  Noah's friend Cole was there so Noah was happy.

Again we stopped home for a bit before I took them out for dinner and milkshakes at Steak 'n Shake.

The boys are in bed now but not sleeping.

Until next time...
