Family Gathering

It is very difficult to get families together in today's busy world especially when we are scattered across the states, but we tried very hard to pull it off this past week. Those in Midland happened to be in the area, Mansfield residents had a free Friday night, the Weatherford clans with the exception of one family were available, so the date was set. Unfortunately, the Carolinians were missed, but distance prohibits getting here for those impromptu gatherings. We had good food and good fellowship! Hope to do it again soon with all the family. (See if you can find what is different in the two pictures below.)

Resort or Hospital Stay

Monday following the July 4th weekend Smitty decided to take a little extended stay in a Ft. Worth hospital. After several days of a rapid heart rate, doctor encouraged him to get to the emergency room. After getting his heart rate back to normal the cardiologist wanted to do some testing to rule out any medical reasons for the incident. Fortunately, all the test came back negative and we were released a couple of days later. Smitty still needs to follow up with an electrophysiologist to determine why the electrical impulse misfired causing the high heart rate. We pray and trust it will be an easy fix. Very good care was provided by the heart center. The room was very large, comfortable, and provided a beautiful view of downtown Ft. Worth. I am certain that once we receive the total bill we will feel as if we stayed at a luxury resort.
