House Update and Some Sad News

Well, escrow is moving along on the house. They say by the end of the week it should be back from the underwriters. They usually want this form or that form signed but other than that all should be good. So if all goes well I will have the keys on 2/27! I sure hope so, I am ready for this process to be over with.

Monday afternoon I went over to my mom's house as we were going to go look at the house, while there she told me she had received a call from a long time friend Kim Hegman who told her husband Donald had suffered a stroke on Wednesday and didn't make it. His only chance was surgery and even that was a slim chance. They left him on life support until late Monday night when they were going to do surgery as he was a donor. On Wednesday while in Manteca he called home and told Kim he was having pain in the back of head. While on the phone Kim noticed his speech was getting slurred. She told him to call 9-1-1. By the time she was able to call back and find out he was taken to the hospital they had already medicated him, that phone call was the last time she was able to talk to Donald. I guess he suffered from high blood pressure but refused to take medication as he didn't want to be on medication after seeing how many medications his mother was on. Well, unfortunately he suffered a stoke at the young age of 56. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family Kim, Corey, Kelly and grandkids!

I hate moving..but hopefully this will be the last time for awhile and at least I wont be rushed to move with in a couple days!! Keep your fingers crossed that the loan goes speedy...
