Hey guys, I'll be out the rest of the week. Jaden was hospitalized this afternoon and is slated for a CT scan and surgery tomorrow. We were just in for a re-check on a swelling in her neck that showed up about 4 weeks ago. It went down with meds, then came back hard core. It got crazy over night, and the Drs. said we need to deal with it ASAP. She has a lump on the side of her neck about the size of a golf ball. Not fun when you are only 19 months old!!
And if anyone wants to make an offer on the black car, I'm listening... I'll need it to help offset the cost of this!!

Best of luck, Matt. Stay optimistic.
So yesterday I had to go to Edmonton... left my house at 12am... got to Edmonton at 7. Went to a drilling company office and sat there from 8 till 4:30 b/c of orientation/**** test. Then I left for home and got back at 11:30pm last night.
Long *** ****ing day but it was worth it. And since I was the only one that applied for a motorhand position, I didnt have to stay for day 2, where you go on a rig they have set up in the yard behind the office, basically for the green guys so they have an idea of what goes on.

Tell you guys what....
I've been bitten by sharks, nose to nose with 12' crocs, handling 14' anacondas, in with polar bears, jaguars, lions, tigers and a dozen other things that could have killed me - and nothing is as scary as seeing your 19 month old daughter being put under twice in a 6 hour period for a last minute surgery. She made it out ok so far. We'll be here for a few days while they try to figure out what caused the swelling in her neck.
