Our month (Feb) started with Rob having his tonsils out. NO BIG DEAL! You deal with it. Right? He woke upon the 5th day and was complaining of pain in his chest area and looked ashy . Well for those of you who don't know the Jackson's health history here's a little picture....his sister passed away at 29 from a blood clot ,she was sweeping her floor,his dad and dads whole side has a HUGE history of heart disease and blood clots,his brother has had them twice....etc you get the picture. Well our time came. We ran to the doctor/hospital and the EKG showed he had either just had or was having a miner heart attack...WHAT!!!. He got to spend 2 days on the heart unit of the hospital having every needle possible jabbed in him, PLUS recovering from his wonderful tonsillectomy.
Everything came out alright. He's doing a TON better. I've never felt so helpless in my life. I came home that night and put my kiddos to bed,walked into our bedroom with the little cheap hospital bag with his belongings and wept. It was the worst feeling in the world. I'm SO grateful for my Father in Heaven. All I could do is hit my knees and beg Him not to take him from our family,not yet at least. I was comforted by His love and knew everything would be ok.
Rob is down by 25 pounds . It was our little wake up of life. Don't take it for granted. Hug, love and be with the ones you love.

We all know things happen for a reason. We all need those "wake up calls to life". It makes us appreciate and savor every moment.
