Gift to You {from Kristi}

Hi Tew Family,

Kristi emailed me a copy of Grandma's picture and said, "I wanted to get you a real copy of that photo of Grandma so you could pass it around to your family. You can put it on the blog and let people know they can print it too if they want to. I am going to put it, along with the others I took, on a disc for all of Grandma's kids and then they can pass them around." Thank you Kristi! (Kristi's photography skills are AMAZING. You can see more of her work at http://www.spgx.com/)

Merry Christmas Tew Family!

Quick Update

(**Sorry for the lack of updates on Dad's/Bruce's health. Our computer has been out of order for the past few weeks and Jeremy has brought it back to life {whew}! )

Dad/Bruce continues to work on keeping his blood pressure controlled (it keeps trying to creep back up over 170's/90's). The general doctor added another blood pressure medication (Clonidine) to dad's growing pile of pills. Dad thinks he should just pour all his pills in a bowl, add milk, and eat it with a spoon like cereal. Sounds yummy.

Dad/Bruce is still tired and naps frequently. He continues to use his oxygen at night. He was finally able to get in to see his nephrologist last week (the first time since he was discharged from the hospital back in October). The nephrologist wasn't as impressed with dad's improved creatinine levels as mom and dad have been but that's okay. We'll take any and all improvements dad can get.

Merry Christmas everyone!
