My apologies for being gone...I was on a roll with the blogging thing. Then getting a surprise panic call from my friend Amy saying that she found her wife Desiree unresponsive last Monday and needed me. I've NEVER seen her in such distress, but of course understandable. I beat the Ambulance to the local ER... after 9 very long hours we had Des moved to UK Trauma Emergency Unit. It's been horrific to say the least. I managed to fulfill my duties last week, and still be available for Amy so Long Days...Long Week, Des still isn't out of the woods and is on the transplant list for a liver. Des is a fighter, but, I would appreciate all the prayers we can get. Desiree' Dad is coming in and will help with keeping an eye on her, Her mom, well that's a whole different situation.
