News and Updates

It's been awhile since I posted anything and haven't really gotten into posting everyday stuff. My life is usually so dull. A lot has been happing of late and I'll try and get it all down.

Galen and I went to the 5th Annual Sin Military Ball. I was a lot of fun, I really had a good time. Saw some old friends, chated up some strangers, danced, sat and watched the going ons in the dungeon, didn't play though and people watched. It was very well attended and the were lots of people to watch. Over all it was a very good event and was good to get out and have a little fun. Unfortunately our friend padme was unable to attend the event and she was missed, but she had a family emergency that of course comes 1st.

Sunday night we got a call that Galen's Dad was in critical condition and wasn't going to make it through the night. He did, but is still listed as critical and hour to hour. Galen's sister arranged for him to fly out today to visit with his Dad. Hopefully Galen will arrive in time to say goodbye to his Dad. It's not unexpected that his Dad is so sick. He has had chronic lung disease for many years and COPD because he smoked heavily from the age of 10. He's been in hospital for the last 3-4 weeks, he went in because he was unable to sleep. The Dr.'s put him through a battery of tests and discovered that he has sever lung cancer which has spread into his ribcage. At one point he was put in a medically induced coma after going into respiratory arrest and wasn't expected to make it through the night, that was 2 weeks ago. He did make it and was taken off the ventilator and was taken out of the coma. He's been doing ok, but still in hospital. Galen's sister wants him to be there for an indefinite time, but Galen has repeatedly told her that he can not just be there indefinitely. He said that he will fly out but is only staying for 2 days no matter what happens. And after he comes back he is NOT going back out there no matter what. He has told her repeatedly that he just can't drop everything and fly out when ever she wants him too. Not only can't he afford to lose the work hours, but if he misses enough work he will lose his job and we so can not afford that. My concern right now it that she has paid for an open-ended ticket to Edmonton and my fear is once Galen is out there somehow his sister will not let him com back. I know that even if Galen has to walk back from Edmonton he'll come home. He left with the promise of not letting his sister bully him around. I'm just worried, I miss him so much already. I hope he gets back home asap!
