04 February 2010 – Thursday

I must say that I did not really do much today. We expected Mary to be released from the hospital but it was not to be. She was crying when she called to tell me that she had woke with a small fever and the doctor had ordered some tests and a anti-biotic drip. I guess she was very upset when she was told this and was not all that nice to the doctor. At least this is what I got from my conversation with him later in the day. She said that she did not think she was like that but Mary does not realize how cutting she can sound when she is angry.

Since she was not released and needed me to comfort her at 3:00, once again I had to cancel Youth at Port Durnford. I really do not like to do that but until Mary is at least at home it seems the thing to do.

In the morning I was on Facebook and  came across my cousin Melissa Fernald Hoyt. We had a nice chat and I got caught up to date on what is going on in her life. I do not think I would have known her is I had ran into her some place but she is very happy being retired with her husband in Banning. She says Loren and Lea are still doing fine – they must be in their early 80’s or so.

While I was visiting Mary during the afternoon hour, Elder Wengert and elder Nkosi came to visit and Mary asked them for a blessing. She decided that since this is a new problem, she could ask for one.

To end a less than perfect day I broke a piece off one of my front teeth. It had been lose for  a number of months and I should have gone to the dentist but didn’t. Looks strange but does not hurt – more work for Shauna when we get home.
