Trials of 2007

Wow Time Flies!
I know its the New Year, but I titling it December 2007. This is because a lot has happened last month. Actually the last two weeks of last month. My family has suffered a pretty rough shock. Sunday December 16th my dad was rushed to the hospital, because my Dad had two seizers. At first it was thought it was an affect of going through detoxi. He was feeling sick the four days before and hadnt drinking any alcohol. Well Monday night my Mom called and said it wasnt looking good. He was put on a breathing machine because he wasnt breathing right, and the doctor wasnt sure if he would be able to survive without it. After that the next few days felt like years. My mom, sisters, and myself (along with Dan by my side almost the whole time) camped out in the hospital for the next 3 days. Things just kept getting worse. His kidneys, liver, and the rest of his body was shutting down. We also found out he caught pneumonia and it basically took over the one lung he had left. It was only working at 20 percent at most. Which played contribute to his seizers. Now most healthy people can fight off pneumonia, but because of his drinking he had very poor health. Once he was taken off the breathing machine he wouldnt survive. We knew my dad would not want to live like that so On Thursday December 20th we had to say good bye. My Mom had the doctor take him off, and my entire family (my dads siblings and family friends) came to say goodbye. It was a hard thing, but we were at peace about the whole thing. It was interesting how this seemed to draw my family really close. My Dads family has really reached out to my Mom along with many of our friends. People brought us so much food we decided to give it to some of my friends who were in need. The Wake and Funeral was on the 23rd and I swear half the town showed. My Parents and the whole Spitzer clan had so many friends through the years that we went over the time for the wake. They actually had to stop people from standing in line to wait so we could get the service started. I was so amazed and overwhelmed by it all.
Now, we are doing OK, and Christmas was still wonderful. I was bound and determined not to ruin it for me, and I noticed the rest of my family felt the same way. We enjoyed each other and laughed, and gave out each other gifts. Dan has really come through for me in this time. Even his family really reached out to us. His parents, Grandmother, and aunt came to the wake, and made me feel welcome at their Christmas gathering Christmas Day. I even had my own Christmas Stocking over there fire place. New Years was even fun. Dan and I spent it with my church family. New Years was hard for my Mom even though Christmas was OK, but I think the mourning will come and go for the next year for us all. Weve kept busy and positive. I moved back home because my mom asked me too. I am glad to have my room back, and I am getting a new bed HURRY! So dont worry to much we are doing OK, but prayers always help. This year is going to be a very different for us, but I am going to embrace the changes, and trials God will put me and my family through. So Happy New Year everyone!
