What's Important

Well, the biopsy results come back for my father-inlaw and they are not good. He has cancer on several different organs and the prognosis is dire. They are giving him 3-6 months to live. However, if one of the tumors on his brain starts to bleed again, he could go instantly. We are all devistated. This is so not fair. As fate would have it, 6 months would take us to around Jan/Feb...around the same time the baby will be born. Talk about bitter sweet. It has really made Dave and I see just what is important and what isn't. Vacations are nice, but they aren't important. Bigger and better electronics and toys may be fun, but they aren't important. Family is important. There really isn't anything that is more important.
On a happier note, we had another ultrasound today. Everything looked good (as far as I know...the tech wouldn't say much) and the heartbeat was 153 BPM. However, the baby wouldn't open up it's legs...so, I guess baby garlic will be a surprise!
