Mom was released today and got home around 6:30 or 7. Her heart is showing up as fine, but her BP was still elevated. She came home with some BP meds and recommended "taking it easy" for a while. They still don't know what caused it, but she seems to be doing OK. It seems like the "wake-up call" scenario is what is playing out, so I'm pretty thankful for that. She's tired, but in good spirits, and I stopped by with the kids to see her right after she got home. After being on the road for 3-4 hours today dealing with childcare, it's time to pass out and hope tomorrow has a bit less excitement thrown my way. **BRENT**

She is in the ICU, but while it is heart related it sounds like it wasn't a stroke or heart attack. She is doing a stress test this morning and we should know more soon. She did say her BP was really high, 190/???. Hoping we can tackle that problem and that will help things. A wake up call is best case. Thanks guys for the concern. Keeping my spirits up. Brent

They are keeping her overnight and took her back for a CT scan as we left. In the car now. Hoping things will be OK. Will know more tomorrow. Exhausted now. Brent

Sitting at the ER. My mom was having chest pains and she and her husband were keeping the kids for me, so we're all here and waiting. While I was pulling up the thread the admitting nurse told me the EKG is normal and they are going to run more tests. She was able to walk in from a parking spot 80 feet from the door so I am hopeful. Will update later. Brent

Yay Todd! **BRENT**

Didn't have yellow. Orange it is! 4 weeks. Fun fun. **BRENT**

You should each buy those bikes. **BRENT**

Thanks for the well wishes re: Zoe. I got her in with an Ortho at 9:30 in the morning, so we'll be going in to school/work a little late. HOPEFULLY without a cast, but if we do have one, I hear it's going to be yellow, if at all possible. **BRENT**

So after my "fun" weekend that some of you know about, I wound up taking the kids roller skating with a friend of the family. Kids were having a blast until Zoe's 14th or 15th fall caught up with her, and she hurt her arm. Wound up going to Urgent Care to get it checked out, just to be safe. Forearm X-rays were clear, and then we were about to be sent home with a clean bill of health, but then she brought up her wrist hurting. Another exam and 3-4 x-rays later, and we get a splint, a sling, and a referral to an ortho doc. She's in good spirits, though. Took her out for Krystal's Chili Cheese Fries (one of her favs), and she's all smiles and thumbs-up. The doc said it's a Salter-Harris Type 1, so from the insanely little I know about that, it's the least serious of those. We'll see what the ortho doc says, but worst case it's a cast and she gets all her friends to sign it. We even started talking about colors she could get if it comes to it. I figure it's a "probably" for the cast, just to be safe, if nothing else. I'm SO glad if this had to happen, it was after she went on her horseback riding trip on Saturday morning. She had so much fun this weekend, even though it didn't go as planned. I'm glad she's able to keep her spirits high... and also glad we had two trained nurses sitting with us at the skating rink, who sent us to the new Urgent Care center which turns out to be where my old Primary Care physician now works. Crazy weekend. **BRENT**

Super bloody sexy, man. Congrat. **BRENT**

Adorable, V! **BRENT**

I usually get a week or two of feeling good, then a slow decline, and after about 4-5 months, pain comes back re: prednisone. That first couple of weeks is what made me realize I'm constantly in pain. I thought that was just normal, until I wasn't in pain for a while. G'luck. **BRENT**

Chris, that's awesome re: fit. Suck re: sciatica. **BRENT**

ALLLLLLL I had to do was play Romo over Vick. NOOOOOOO! **BRENT**

So we have the same record in each league, and playing each other in each league today.... and at this point, it looks like you're projected to beat me in both. I can't say I feel sorry for you. **BRENT**

Welcome to Bike-Case... I thought you'd been here before. **BRENT**

That's awesome! **BRENT**

Chris, just get Mk 2s when they come out (in 2017)... or wait til they're on Chainlove. **BRENT**

I hate you almost as much as I hate Aerius... except I don't really hate you. I hate Drew Brees. That bastard. Jeff told me I was losing I was like "wtf ever *checks page* DAMMIT!" **BRENT**

What they said. **BRENT**

Nice, Justin! **BRENT**

Where can we see the video of this? **BRENT**

FTFY. **BRENT**
