The week that was

This was a pretty crazy past week. It started out promising with the Flames winning to force a game 7, but later that night we got a message about Kristin's cousin. He had surgery over the weekend and seemed to be recovering okay when suddenly he slipped into a coma. The doctors had no idea what was going on and the situation was very serious. On Tuesday I was able to visit him in the hospital. It seemed so surreal to see him lying in the ICU and remembering the last time I saw him when he was running around playing. It puts things like hockey into perspective when you are dealing with life and death.
Near the end of the week the doctors figured out what happened and were able to bring him out of the coma. He is pretty weak, but was able to finally get out of bed and into a wheelchair. He had a lot of people praying for him and I believe he is being healed.
Kris took Evie out to visit friends a couple of times this week so I had some evenings off. It was good to have some time to sit down and figure out what would be happening in PEI this summer for Damons wedding. I booked plane tickets and a hotel so it is really happening. I spent all Saturday with Evie as Kris was out most of the day and evening. That was nice as I hadn't really seen much of her the previous few days.
Hopefully the coming week will be a little calmer.
Evie sure is cute when she's eating
