Zabowsky News

On my side of the family we had a lot of news this month.  My Mom has a lot on her plate right now.  First, my Mom's only sister had a heart attack.  Aunt Sherrie has been in bad health for years and has had heart attacks before.  The Dr.'s said if she does not have a transplant she will probably pass within the year.  She has chosen to not have the transplant.  Mom is hoping to fly out to see her next month.  Next in news, my Mom was told that she has Type 2 diabetes.  On a positive note, now that she knows she can make healthier lifestyle choices.  With the right diet and exercise Type 2 diabetes can be manageable.  The final piece of August news was Tricia & Michael announcing that they are pregnant!  They will be celebrating their 3 year anniversary in 2 months, and he has been like family since the beginning.  They knew a long time ago that they wanted to be married, and have been talking about marriage ideas for awhile now.  Michael graduated this May and Tricia is graduating this December.  Originally a trip to Disneyland was planned this December for Tricia's graduation, but now if all goes as planned the trip will also include a small Disneyland wedding.  If you are on Tricia's facebook, please save congratulations for later, as she is waiting for more details on how far along she is to announce it to her friends.         

August

Hello Family & Friends!  It has now been 4 months away, and we miss you all dearly!  August was more of the same for James and I, work wise.  He continues to  stay in good spirits while working at the Hilton.  He sacrificed a great job with some of the nicest co-workers you will ever meet to come out here, and it has been frustrating that no one has scooped him up yet.  Keep your fingers crossed!!  I missed 6 days of work this month because of being sick.  I was sick for 2 weeks and finally went to see a Dr. and was put on an antibiotic.  I had a bad reaction to the antibiotic and became even sicker.  In the course of a week I was in the e.r. hooked up to an i.v., saw and ear, nose & throat specialist, went to urgent care 2 x, and saw our primary physician once.  I was on and off 7 different meds within a couple of weeks.  I haven't been sick for years, so I guess this was my body's way of making up for it.  Despite being so sick, it was nice spending so much time with James.  We have both been working a lot, and he has been working every weekend.  Somehow he kept me in good spirits at the e.r. and at the e.n.t. specialist when I was getting a laryngiscope put down my nose (pray you never go through that!).  I am a very lucky wife!!
