Hi Everybody
I hope all you mother's had a great Mother's Day. We had a great day here in northern Kentucky. Julie and Cory had us all over for a cookout. How brave they are! The weather did not cooperate as much as we would have liked, but we all had a really good time.
Hannah's First Communion was a few weeks ago and it was indeed a beautiful day. What a little angel she is!
Emily's 8th grade dance was this past week end. She and her friends are really beautiful young women and they all had a great time.
Both the LaRoy's and Wiehoff's have been busy with soccer, basketball, scouts and on and on. I think they are all ready for summer vacation.
It won't be long now.

Grandma's medications for her congestive heart failure seem to be working well. She has had no swelling in her ankles and has had no more breathing episodes that we know of. I do think that the whole ordeal has slowed her down a little bit, though.
Her latest concern is her vision. It has been slowly deteriorating for the past few months and has reached a level that is fairly difficult for her to deal with. Her left eye is the one that had the macular degeneration so badly a few years ago. This eye is not very functional. The vision in her right eye has dropped from 20/30 to 20/50. The doctor has increased the power of the reading part of her glasses lens. So far this has not had a very big impact on her vision. We will be seeing a specialist today to check for macular degeneration progression in her right eye.

In other news, Ken is doing better after his second surgery and we are all looking forward to the day when he and Todd will be making a visit home.
Trenda will be having sugery on the disc in her upper neck area next Monday. This will hopefully help the problem that she has been suffering with for so long. Good luck Trenda.

Let's hear from each of you. Share some of what you each are doing. I will continue to post updates on Grandma.
