Focht Family Blog

I got yelled at because I haven’t been updating our blog. :)

So… not too much to share. Samantha and I are catching up with school work. My mom has Timmy reading the Jane and Dick books. Joshua is still trouble. We have them all in swim classes. They are all enjoying them although they only have one class left.

My mom ended up in the local hospital for two days on IV antibiotics. She had been having stomach pains but was trying to ignore them because she had a visit with the gastroenterologist coming up. She finally decided to go to the ER when the pains started causing her to throw up. Ends up she had diverticulitis and her white blood count was very high from the infection so they felt it would be better for her to get the antibiotics in IVs for 48 hours. She is now out but still has to be on the antibiotics orally for 2 weeks. She is ready for them to be done.

For some weird reason I have started having symptoms of hypoglycemia. Unfortunately no matter how careful I am with my eating, food seems to be an enemy right now. No matter what I eat, it causes me to get dizzy. Now I am having bad headaches. I went to the ER a couple of days ago and they said all my blood was normal and sent me on my way. I have an appointment with a doctor today but I am sure they will do the same.

We are supposed to leave Friday for a short trip. We are going to Stone Mountain for the weekend with Nathan’s parents to do a Christmas thing. We usually go to Calloway, but the displays have been the same for the last few years so we decided to try something different. We are also going to try to drive through the light displays at Lake Lanier while we are up there. Then we will visit my brother Sunday-Wednesday and then we will be back in Statesboro for Thanksgiving.

I will take some pictures while we are at Stone Mountain so I can update again. :)
