The good news is the good nurses and doctors were able to save her. The bad news is that this tiny little woman who weighs a whopping 85 pounds soaking wet has an enlarged heart and if the medication doesn't work, she will need a new heart.
St. Louis had been suffering from another incredibly hot summer. My friend Darrell and I had been planning a short vacation for a couple of days of cool weather in Wisconsin, Door County. Our motel room had been reserved and paid for so even though I was worried about my niece, a couple of days after her release from the hospital we headed north.
The short vacation was great. Door County, Wisconsin is simply delightful and I truly had a wonderful time, but I worried and stewed about my niece, Regina the whole time we were there. I wanted to bring back a souvenir for her but not just anything. I wanted something to encourage her. Something that would help her get strong once again.
I found that gift in a little art studio called Dovetail Gallery in the village of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. I found a short book entitled "New Beginnings". The intentions of the book was to give encouragement to anyone trying to improve themselves whether it be lose weight, quit smoking or in this case change her life style to a healthy one that will strengthen her heart.
Following are the journal pages inspired by this little book.
