Whoa...slow down life.

Wow, how time flies! Well, we made it back from El Paso safe and sound...after a 4 hour flight delay and a dust storm or sand storm...whatever you want to call it. It was weird...I've never seen anything like it. But that's not why our flight was delayed....the plane originated out of Chicago and evidentally Chicago was having some issues...so we spent extra time in El Paso. It seems everytime we go to Manny's parents house one of the girls gets sick! So this time was no exception...Autumn came down with a stomach bug and spent one whole day on the couch and as you know Autumn is not one to just be still!! Caily also came down with a runny nose and cough. We got home after close to midnight on the 21st and my daddy turned 50 on the 22nd! Can't believe my dad is 50!! Wow! We all went to dinner to celebrate that on Saturday and Manny returned to work on Sunday. Me and the girls finished up our Christmas shopping and had lunch at Chili's. We celebrated Christmas on the 24th with the girls since Manny had to work Christmas day...the girls seemed to enjoy their new things and I know I did! Manny bought me a laptop for school!! Christmas morning I woke up feeling like I had been hit by an 18-wheeler. I had zero energy, my whole body ached, I had fever, dizzy, tired...I managed to bake an apple pie and cookies to take to my dad's house and made it over there...looking a bit frazzled...but none the less...we made it! I was still terribly ill Wednesday and couldn't return to work as planned...so I stayed home in bed and Manny had to go get his allergy shot so he and the girls went to the dr...well an hour later he called asking me to go get the girls because he had a seizure at the dr's office and an ambulance was on it's way to get him! I totally freaked...threw on the first items of clothing i could find...hurried to the dr's office to get the girls and followed the ambulance to the hospital. My sister came and got the girls for us from the hospital and we waited....and waited...and waited...might I suggest you never go to Memorial Hermann Southeast Hosp if you have a seizure...because we were NEVER seen....and we were there for 5 or 6 hours. We finally left...and he went to the dr yesterday...had a cat scan today...and has an EEG scheduled for Jan 7th. While he was in the med center the daycare called and Caily now has fever and has been vomiting. Guess the stomach bug is going around the Torres house! So please say a prayer for Manny's health! I need him...and the girls need him...and we need him healthy. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! and I hope your New Year is even better!
