Well I had a blog about half way done yesterday when I went to bed . . . then couldn't get back to it till now and it already seems out-of-date. The weekend may have been a little too exciting for Josh . . . this afternoon while we were getting ready to head to my office Josh started complaining of severe arm pain, he immediately took his blood pressure which was 145/95. Within seconds he was sweating and had chest pain. Once he was in the E.R. his blood pressure had started to drop and the pain subsided. The E.R. doctor, Dr. Steele ordered labs, an x-ray and two EKG's - everything looked normal (at least normal for Josh) so he contacted Dr. Spear and Dr. Floten. None of the doctors can explain what caused the symptoms at this point and are not concerned because the symptoms went away on their own.
Josh had a Coumadin check up on the 27th, his protime was 2.4 (safe is 2.0-3.5) so Josh has continued to take 5mg nightly and he's still on the beta blocker for the time being.
We enjoyed a few game nights with the Lukins and the Carls which called for dinner of course; we learned to make a very delicious and heart healthy tortelli in marinara and mmmm our new favorite, chicken enchilidas.
On Saturday Winifred had a great turn out for her going away party; she got to share pictures, newspapers and brochurse she got when her and her friend Sue visited Oak Harbor a couple weekends ago. 
Toby and Shea invited us to watch Super Bowl XLIII at their house - GO STEELERS - they won! It was a close and intense game but the Steelers won with an insanely awesome touch down with less then three minutes in the 4th quarter, the 100-yard interception in the 2nd quarter helped too. The Cards gave the Steelers a run for their money with an over ten point recovery - now the new biggest recovery in Super Bowl history.
I'd say that's about enough excitement for the whole year, don't you think?
Oh and Josh's medical id bracelet came this week and we picked up a blood pressure monitor at Target which Josh has been using daily!
I still think you should have put on joshy's braclet "if found please return to Jessica"
