Tom lays by me on the family room recliner. I get up to go have "Come Follow Me" with James. He follows me in the bedroom and lays on the floor between James and I. He is asleep until we play the Book of Mormon using a speaker. He wakes up and wants outside. He doesn't really like listening to scriptures or conference talks. He's a rebel.
I got a text from Rowan this morning. It said: "Hey I just opened my graduation card. I really appreciate it (referring to the money I am sure), and I loved reading it. I love you guys!" I texted back:
We love you too Rowan and we are so proud of you!
Here is the report on Mom this morning:
Cathi: Mom has had a rough night. She just couldn't get comfortable. I finally convinced the nurses to let her sit in the recliner. I put my Minky Couture blanket on her and now she is sleeping like a baby. They took her for a CT Scan of her chest at 2:00. Results aren't back yet. I have dozed off and on. Got some good sleep when they took her for the CT.
Cathi @ 8:04 a.m.: Nurse just came by to let us know that 2 more CT scans have been ordered...one for heart and one for lower abdomen. They have also ordered an echocardiogram of the heart. I asked when the doctors did their rounds and was told between 9 and 10 a.m.
Cathi @ 12:47 p.m.: We spoke with the hospital doctor this morning and were told that Mom is going to be admitted an an inpatient. Dr. Kahn said that besides congestive heart failure, the CT scan showed pneumonia. Mom is very uncomfortable. Please pray for her as I know you have been all along. I am going to try to get some much needed sleep so I can go back to the hospital to stay with Mom tonight.
Cathi @ 9:26 p.m.: Mom is officially admitted to the hospital. She is in room B414. She is about the same as she was last night. Restless because it is so hard for her to breathe. Her mental faculties are amazing. She is definitely able to understand what they are doing to treat her and care for her. For that I am extremely grateful. I am staying at the hospital with her again tonight. Those were all of the updates for today. If Mom gets worse James and I will be going to the valley and I may have to get someone else to teach my lesson on Sunday.
James had a meeting with Jeff and Susan Crane today about the home they are building. They want him to do some of the work. This is the first time they have been in our home. James said they really liked it.
I finished cutting out all 57 of my handouts, 11 for Primary, 6 for YW and the rest for Relief Society. Now I'm working on the quote that goes with the handout.
Jared and Kacey ordered two items from Apple, an Air Mac and an Apple watch. On the day they were delivered their security camera caught an Uber driver picking those items up off the porch and taking them with him in his car. This is a scam. Here is how it goes:
Kacey: It's a scam where the thieves use unsuspecting Uber drivers to go and pick up packages as soon as they are delivered. They then take them to UPS where a label is printed and they are mailed to a designated address given by the thief. We had no idea Uber picked up packages. The things dishonest people think of is mind blowing.
We posted it on social media and the first Uber driver in the video saw himself and immediately came to our house to clear his name.
Me: Why would Uber pick up a package off your porch when the package is addressed to you?
Kacey: Sometimes people may be out of town and unable to pick it up so they will have Uber pick it up and mail it to wherever they are. That's our understanding anyway.
The curious thing is that they know when it is delivered so it seems they have access to the delivery trucks info about what is being delivered and when.
FedEx is the one who dropped it off but then the thief used UPS to send a QR code to the Uber driver to print a label and have the package sent somewhere else. We don't have all the details but the investigator said this is something that has been happening.
I cannot believe the lengths that dishonest people will go to!
James started a job at Matt Hipps's home in Pinetop. Matt is the son of Robert Hipps who is in our ward. James did some work for Robert and he recommended James to his son.
Matthew is a member of our stake and is on the stake high council. James says he works out of town, in Chicago of all places, but he doesn't know what he does. Anyway, James was loading the Cat onto the trailer to take to Pinetop. Later, when he goes to leave, he realizes the Cat is not securely strapped down when it hits the newly fixed tailgate on his truck and leaves a dent.
I listened to part of "Follow Him" today. I love John Bytheway and Hank Smith and I usually love their guest too.

But blessed are they who are faithful and endure, whether in life or in death, for they shall inherit eternal life.
