As everyone knows, we had some devastating weather come through the area last night. All my family is okay and well. Most of my friends made it out unscathed also. The few that didn't got hit pretty hard. My fellow co-worker (her son Devin also plays on Shayne's baseball team) lost everything last night. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Last I heard, they are still searching for their cars. Another friend, Dan Lowe, lives in the subdivision they have been talking about on the news a lot. He, thankfully, was one of the few houses that didn't get demolished. He has damage, but the house is still standing at least. And the poor Lake High School graduates. They were supposed to graduate to day at 2:30, but as a result of a tornado last night, they lost their school. Although it's devastating either way, thankfully it happened last night and not during graduation today. As of 7:19 p.m., Sunday, at last count, there has been 7 people confirmed dead. After what happened last night, I'm definitely holding my family closer to my heart. The tornado just went north of Clay Center where my Dad, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle and cousins live. (Shayne was with Rachel in Genoa at the time.) Genoa almost got hit also. I was a complete nervous wreck while this was going on. Thankfully, everyone was safe and sound after it was all done. My prayers go out to all the people that have lost their houses, possessions and even family members. May God be with you.
On to a little bit of a happier note, Rian became a graduate of Genoa High School last weekend. I can't believe I now have two brothers that have graduated. Gosh I'm getting old. It's fun watching them grow up and seeing what they turn out to be, but yet, it's all so depressing. I wish they would all go back to when they were 10 and younger. Rian then had his graduation party last night. (June 5th) It was an awesome party, if i do say so myself. He kept trying to tell me that no one was going to show up and that he had no friends. Well let me tell you, his party started at 2 and by at least 5 there was close to 20-30 kids in the house. So much for not having friends Rian Alan!!! But I most definitely had a good time. Except for Mr. Rilee William giving us all a scare!!! He just recently started on the diabetic insulin pump. (He's had diabetes for years, but until just about a week ago, he was giving himself injections. We are hoping the pump will regulate his blood sugar levels a little better and he will be able to live more of a normal life.) The first week he was on the pump they only had saline running through it, just making sure it was working correctly and everything. Then on Wednesday he went and got insulin in it. He has to test himself every three hours for about two weeks. And yes, this means getting up at midnight, 3, 6 and 9 in the morning to test himself. Makes for an exhausted kid. Anyways, he was with his friends yesterday upstairs at the house, and I guess he started acting really weird. His friends finally talked him into coming downstairs and then they came and got Rachel and I. We walk into the house and he was just acting very weird. He was lying on the floor and kinda throwing his head all around. And when he talked, he was slurring his words. He honestly sounded like a drunk person. We finally got him up in a chair and realized he was burning up. He was warm to the touch and just dripping sweat. Now mind you, this is at the time when all this kids are there for Rian's party, so it was quite stuffy in the house. We was still throwing himself around a bit so I stood behind him to make sure he didn't hurt himself. He just kept saying he was tired and that he wanted a nap. Well we weren't satisfied with him just being tired. He tested himself and he was 118, which isn't exactly low. Actually, it's quite normal to be there, but like I said, for some reason he was acting like his levels were really, really low. We called the nurse that is charge of teaching him about his pump and everything and she told us to get some protein into him and then let him nap. That he should wake up a lot better. So he had a shredded chicken sandwich and then went upstairs for a nap. It was honestly the scariest thing that has happened with him since he's been diagnosed with this years ago. He just wasn't Rilee anymore. But he woke up and acted like nothing happened. Come to find out, he really don't remember a whole lot about it. SCARY!!! But he ended up being okay after eating and sleeping. Hopefully, that never, ever happens again!!!
Tomorrow is going to be my first official day of doing things myself. The guy that has been training me is moving to LA and it's his last day tomorrow. We are having a potluck lunch for him and he will be busy doing things all day, so I shall be by myself. Kinda scared, but kinda happy to finally be able to do things myself also. It's really not all that hard of work, it's just tedious work. Making sure every file is right. And if something is wrong and they audit that one file you can get into trouble for it. But so far, I haven't made any mistakes and I've taken notes on how to do things. So after Jon leaves, I should be fine = )
Not much else going on in this neck of the woods...
Till next time...
