It has been a busy time for the Mushetts in the past week - but then again when is it not.
The biggest news is that Andrew's dad is in the hospital with a becterial infection of his heart. He was very lucky as there are signs he had a heart attack, as well as an aneurism in his leg. He will be in the hospital for a few more days and then will have to wear a 24-hour IV for the next 6-8 weeks to get that infection taken care of. It is very scary, although he seems to be doing OK and praying that he gets out before the big graduation celebration for his niece this weekend. They are cooking over 100 pounds of chicken wings for this event, not to mention the other bad foods for you. I am not sure what the doctor will think of that, but I guess what the doctor doesn't know....
We are heading to Wisconsin for the 4th of July - spending the night at Andrew's grandma's on Thursday and then going to see Mike, April, Dave, Jen and Avani on the 4th at some point in Pewaukee. Should be very interesting as most of central and eastern Wisconsin is underwater still from the flooding. Andrew's grandma's lake is contaminated, while the water level of Mike and April's was threatening to turn their house into a houseboat. The roads between Chicago and Milwaukee and Madison and Milwaukee are also down to one-lane each way so that will make things challenging as well.
Last weekend was busy. Friday, I went to the U.S. Women's Golf Open with my friend Sandy and we got our photo with the trophy (shown above). That night our friend Malcolm Moran, who is the Knight Chair of the Sports Journalism Program at Penn State, was visiting and wanted to have dinner with Reagan. So we headed to the Loon before hitting Coldstone Creamery and roaming the downtown skyway system. Reagan finally conked out at 10:30, but quite a valiant effort by the diva. Saturday, Reagan had a birthday party in the morning and then we all went to a graduation party that night - this is the source of the horse photos. Reagan had a great time at both parties as she kept talking about wanting to go to parties all weekend. Sunday was a day of rest for Reagan as she is not so good about going to sleep or napping these days. We finally got her to take a three-hour nap about 4 p.m. Of course, she did not go to bed that night until 11 p.m.
Anyway...we hope you have a good and safe 4th of July.
Gotta "go, go, go,"
Reagan's mom
