I haven't been feeling well lately and then I got a bad pain in my chest, so I called the doctor and he said to come in. He checked me out and wanted to be completely thorough, so he sent me for a CT angiogram. Well, I am allergic to contrast dye, so they ended up doing a nuclear medicine scan (V/Q scan). That was interesting, something I haven't had before and not painful, besides lying down (I haven't been able to lie down very well because it hurts) and getting a little poke. They were looking for a pulmonary embolus and did not find one. I was very relieved, but I didn't really think it was that anyway. I guess the lupus just flared and I just have to up my steroids and get rest. In the hospital yesterday I was thinking how grateful I am that there are so many people and super technology that can help me. It is a good thing I didn't live 100 years ago or my lifespan would have been much shorter. I hesitate to write things about my health because I think you all may think that is all that happens in my life, but I just wanted to share the good news!
Joel, Dallin, and Brayden got free tickets to the BYU game Saturday. They are excited! I initially wanted to go, but the cold doesn't sound inviting. It just hurts me anyway.
Also, Hunter is getting glasses tomorrow, and he is so excited! I will post pictures soon, if I can figure it out. Mindy got her senior pictures back yesterday. We will have to post them too.

When Glenn Beck got scanned a couple of weeks ago after his surgery he actually put his hand on the scanner and thanked the lord for it.
I'm glad it was nothing too serious. I hope you get feeling better soon. I bet Hunter is going to look so cute with his new glasses. He is such a good looking kid already. Take it easy.
Love ya, Julie
Glad to hear you are okay! Hope you get feeling better :) I'm excited to see Hunter in his glasses!
It sounds like both you and Brian are having fun times at the hospital. I am surely glad that it wasn't anything more serious. We surely are blessed to have so many medical advances in our lifetime that make life so much more pleasant. I am grateful all the time for the many sugar-free things that are made now. When I was young there were very few sugar free items. I hope that you start feeling better soon, you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
