Can I get some form of good news?(LONG POST)

This week has been eventful to say the least! I drove back to West Memphis on Saturday evening because I wanted to visit my uncle Lee's church Sunday morning. So, Sunday we drove to Joiner Arkansas and went to church, then I drove to Mississippi to pick up some things William had left behind when he was at home. I had a blast, I got to eat some grilled dear meat and see most of the Lewallen family and play with my niece Lilly for a little while before I left. I love that little girl so much!!!! She will be one tomorrow, I can't believe it! Monday moening about 7:30 my middle brother Joseph arrived here from Canton, OH. It was so good to get to see him! The last time I saw him he was 17 years old, in high school and hadn't been to the Marine's yet. So on to Tuesday, I spent the morning at the hospital with my granny and papow getting his bloodwork done for his heartcath on Wednesday, then we spent the afternoon at the Dr. with my cousin. On Wednesday I was up at 6am to be ready so I could go to the hospital with my granny and papow at 7:30. We just had to be at Crittenden here in West Memphis, so it wasn't too bad of a drive. After getting there at 7:30 they got my papow all prepped and ready to go but didn't come get him for his heartcath until 11:30, are you kidding me, he is a diabetic! Well, besides that I had left to head to Jonesboro just after they took him back for his procedure and asked my granny to call me when she knew the results. I wasn't even out of West Memphis before she called and told me that he had 90% blockage and they were talking him to Methodist University Hospital in Memphis by ambulance to do an emergency surgery. So, off to Jonesboro I go, for an hour drive. I get there and get lost 3 times trying to find St. Bernard hospital, and then just around ran into 3 cars in the parking garage. Well, I suprised my grandmaw when I showed up there. My mom had sent me a text earlier in the day when I was still in West Memphis telling me that she thought it was my daddy's birthday so I called him and asked him and he told me that he was turning 49! WOW! I didn't even know, my mom is 44. Shows how much I know! Well, while I was on the phone with my dad he told me that my grandmaw was having some more stents put in so I definitly wanted to go see her, because I knew she already had 4 stents. So, I got to the hospital in Jonesboro and found out that they didn't have to do any more stents they just did a little roto-rooter job on one of the stents she already had. So I stayed with my grandmaw and got her back to her house and resting before I headed back to West Memphis. I got to West Memphis at 5:30 where I had no key to any house around here. Not my moms, grannys, or aunts. So after calling everyone's phone 2 times I got an answer from my aunt and went to her house to wait on everyone to get there so we could head to Memphis to see my papow. Four years ago I would have told you that I would never forget my way around Memphis, haha, unless it's just off the interstate I can't find anything anymore! So we got to the hospital at 7:30 to see my papow and didn't end up getting back to my moms until 10. Boy was I exhausted.So, today I am going to take me and my brothers to WalMart to get some cheap pictures made, because the last picture that my mom has of all of us is from 1999.

I will post some pictures from this week, but will have to wait until I get home since I forgot my cord.

Here's our family picture from 1999: I was 13, my mom was 34, Joseph(back) was 8, and Jesse(front) was 7.
