Continuing on with 2018...

 *Aug.- Ray is down to one therapy appointment a week. But he is now seeing a heart doctor because of the pulmonary hypertension caused by the silicosis.
  We finally escaped from the heat and made a trip to WI. My brother Randy and his fiancé Lyn got married in June and were having a reception on the 25th.
  We stayed in WI for about 12 days. Very busy days catching up with family ad friends.
  *Sept- We had spent Labor Day weekend with my parents in WI. They are both in their upper eighties and live in their own home. About a week after we left and made it back to FL, my mom fell and broke her hip. So that brings us to...
  *Oct- We decided to go back to WI and help out. We stayed till the end of the month. The weather there was colder than normal and it even snowed.
  *Nov- Ray was finally done with therapy and the hand doctor said his hand was healed and he didn't need to see him anymore. Now to keep him out of trouble!
  *Dec- Friends from WI ( Rita & John) stopped for a quick visit on their way south.
 On the 13th our daughter Colleen, son in law Goyo and 2 grandsons (Lukas & Isaiah) met us and our daughter Amanda and husband Pat in Orlando. We had 4 days of fun planned. Two days at Sea World.
 Ray had a little bit of a cold before we left and he went to the doctor but there was nothing they could give him because he didn't have a temperature. He wanted to see the grandkids and not stay home. On the 3rd night there, he ended up getting a temp. The best thing was to go to the ER because of his breathing problems.
  This was the same ER he went to in Feb. One of the nurses and a doctor recognized him. They were glad he made it through all the surgeries.
  They ended up admitting him because of low oxygen and high heart rate. He ended up staying 3 nights. We told him he is longer allowed to go to Orlando!
 Christmas was a week later and the rest of the year was relaxing and quite.
       Who knows what 2019 will bring. We'll just roll with the flow and enjoy each day as much as we can.
