Visit to Orlando

After much research of where would be the best place for my mom to reside for good, it ended up being Orlando. My mom's sister Norma and her son and husband live there and there are good medical clinics and doctors.

While I was able to visit her she was able to get in to see a good cardiologist today and found out she is going to have to get open heart surgery. It was not an easy thing for her to know. She was hoping she would be fine with what they had already done. I was with her and explained to her how important it is to follow what the doctors recommend.

Now that I live in the Philippines is even harder to make the trip to see her so I took a few days from September 24th to September 29th while I was in Salt Lake and made the trip South.

Daniel's skin surgery

Daniel's skin surgery was today for the removal of a wart that could potentially be cancerous. It all went well. He did great and kept his eye area with ice so he wouldn't get a black eye.

Asher is here

I remember Cristi telling me how she couldn't sleep at all the night before because she was feeling some contractions so by around noontime she checked into the hospital but this little man stayed inside mom for another 10 hours when finally very late at night, he decided to make his appearance. Asher Brooks Dame is what his name will be. This is the first time I am actually in town when a grand baby is born. In the past I have been thousands of miles away. I am only in Idaho because Bianca had her baby prematurely or I wouldn't even be here. Asher is so lucky to have parents like Cristi and Brooks.

Clark Base

Not much is left from what it used to be the United States Clark Air Base in the Philippines. This was a US Base from 1903 to 1991 but now is more like a ghost town. It was sad to see all the buildings in ruins but they still have duty free stores where you can buy items tax free. Sweet!

Ruby's arrival

On September 3rd. 2015, this precious child decided to come quick to meet her wonderful parents. Bianca and Joseph. What a lucky baby Ruby will be. She is so loved by so many people who are praying for her to get strong.
