I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and that 2008 brings much happiness to all.
I am sitting here in Santa Fe, New Mexico at a hotel. Steve is in Taos Holy Cross Hospital (pictured above). We believe he has a really bad case of altitude sickness!... and my son has been throwing up for the past 2 days. I spent the night with Steve at the hospital last night in Taos. He has had a really bad headache for the past 2 days, and he was throwing up and fainted before the ambulance came and picked him up from Red River (altitude there is 9200 feet).
We did get to play in the snow a little bit before all the fun started to happen!
Steve and I took a 3 1/2 hour snowmobile tour prior to his getting sick. We had a great time. I did manage to get one run down the mountain on my skies, but that was it. I was summoned to the house and the next thing you know I am on a 40 mile trip to the hospital in an ambulance with my husband.
The kids got to do a little sledding the first day we got here. My daughter took ski lessons yesterday. She did great this year. My little guy took snowboard lessons, but ended up only taking 1/2 day as I think he wasn't feeling too well yesterday afternoon. He told my mom "that it was the worse day of his life!" Poor thing!!
My folks have been a tremendous help.
I am hoping that Steve gets out of the hospital tomorrow but we don't know yet until he sees the doctor. They have been giving him a ton of pain killers and are trying to get control of his headache, but it doesn't seem to be going away. My son is sleeping next to me now.I am very tired....Please pray for our family.
Happy New Year!!!!
