From December 12th

I somehow missed posting this update. Sorry..here it is:

Mike spent the first part of the week in the hospital because his sodium had gotten too low. By Wednesday it was back up to normal and he was discharged back to the ranch and is doing fine. While he was at the hospital he had a CT and EEG which showed no active seizures. The kids and I will be leaving Saturday morning to spend the weekend with Mike. He turned 43 this week. Please remember to keep him in your prayers.
