My parents drove to Wichita last Thursday. I drove up to Wichita last Thursday to be there because we thought they might need to take her to the ER immediately. Since she wasn't having any more chest pains, they decided to wait. They tried to get into the doctor sooner, but he was out of the office so they had to wait until the scheduled appointment on Tuesday. Being in Wichita was good, however, because if she started having chest pains again they were close to a large hospital.
After spending Thursday evening visiting with my family I drove back to Oklahoma on Friday morning, picked Zachary up, took him to a doctor's appointment for his allergies and then drove back to Wichita to spend the weekend with my family.
My sister-in-law's Mom had passed away that same week, so Saturday Jeanie, Melissa and I headed out of Wichita at 530am to be in Garden City in time for the funeral at 10am. This worked out ok since my Mom seemed to be feeling fine. After the funeral we visited with some family for a bit and then headed back to Wichita so I could pick Zachary up from Sharon's house and spend some more time with my Mom. I can't thank Ronnie and Sharon enough for watching Zachary so he didn't have to spend so much time in the car over that hectic weekend.
After lunch on Sunday Zachary and I headed back to Oklahoma. My Mom had a heart cat on Tuesday and the news was great. They found no blockages or any other issues with her heart. He said any number of more minor things could have caused the chest pain, especially since she only had one episode. She is going to follow up with her regular doctor in Garden to see if they need to do anything else. Needless to say it was a stressful week until we got those results, but I am extremely thankful that it was good news.
Here is a picture of me and four of my siblings.
