I am very lucky to have a wonderful daughter-in-law who is married to my stepson, Joe. They are both very special people that I have learned to love as if they were my own. Joe is the strong (and I mean strong, as in physical strength) silent type with not alot to say but is alot of fun and makes me laugh (Sorry, about the Black Lung disease, Joe!) Anyway, he was brilliant enough to find himself a wife beyond compare who is kind, gentle, funny and loving and accepts Joe just as he is (Joe has been known to operate on "Joe Time" which can drive his wife and his dad absolutely crazy) This last weekend while at the lake with us she chose to fore go a pontoon ride after dinner as she wasn't feeling real well - So, Joe tucked her into bed and we left her home to rest. She joined us when we got back but complained about it being hard to breathe and a pain in her upper chest - She felt somewhat the same next day but fought me to help dust, vacuum, make two beds and generally clean as we had guests coming the following weekend to the lake, without us. Naturally, I wanted the place to look nice for them. We all left the lake at the same time on Sunday and you can only imagine our horror when we found out Monday morning that the pain had gotten bad enough that they went to the ER late Sunday night. This 30 year old wonder woman had been diagnosed with a blood clot and was immediately checked in for the night only to undergo rounds of tests and new medications. Pulmonary embolism we were told. We were worried sick and I personally felt awful having let her actually help with cleaning that same day. We are pleased to report that she went home the following day along with some new pills that she'll have to take for 6 months and I'm sure a newfound or renewed appreciation for life in general. We thank God for her and Joe's good sense to go to the hospital that night and for the rapid recovery and wisdom and speed of the doctors - Keep her in your prayers for us as this is a one-in-a-million kind of gal. We love you Joc!

My Daughter-In-Law, Jocelyn
