That was an amazing story and I hope you can write more stories and I also could not stop reading it and I hope you get the recognition you need for this story.

Sincerely, Ayan

    Thank you so much for the review and comments. You helped me get my rating up because you comment came through twice and I don't mind that at all.

What an unexpected blessing! You and your husband handled it all so well. I am glad that you had such a good friend that you could confide in. Your husband doing all that work by himself reminds me of my husband preferring to do things himself but mine does it to save money. The drawback is he has no energy so nothing gets done.

Sorry to hear about your heart problem. We women have such a delicate balance of chemicals that it's easy to have health issues that completely befuddle the doctors!

One minor grammar point:
my heart went from it's normal 70 beat per minute (its)

    Thanks for the review and comments. My husband needed to save money as well. I think working on the house took hiis mind off the fact he was about to have another child when he hoped to retire early. It would be years before I would find out what was actually wrong with my heart. I still have the condition but not a half a pill a day keeps me from it going into the that rhythm.

No doubt he was concerned about your health.
About studying to show approval in the Word, that is scripture. As someone who has been there and done that, I always leaned on the phrase spoken by the Lamb, "need not to be concerned about what you will say, open your mouth and I will fill it." Amazing, He always did.
Love the idea toward the Lord bringing the church to you guys. Sounds like Jesus to me.
Very good Beth.
Enjoyed your write.

    Thank you so much for the review and for the five stars. I'm always amazed at the way God seems to be working in my life. I don't deserve those blessing but I'm so glad God gives them anyway.

Dear Beth, this chapter is well named, You DID have medical concerns, and major ones, at that.
In both cases the Doctors were no help, and even contributed to your concerns.
You said that you would tell us in future chapters, what was going on. But I don't think it was good.

    I finally got a diagnosis when I went to emergency while it was happening. The doctor said I needed Coronary Ablation but he said I could try medication. There is a spot in my heart that triggers a different fast beat. I take a half of a an atenolol tablet and it stays in rhythm for the most part. After many year my husband got on different medicine and he got better.
    Thanks so much for the review and comments.

Hi Beth, again you've written a great continuation to your life story. And now you've found out you're pregnant yet again.
I found a couple of things:
When it when into the rapid beat several times within a month, = When it went into the rapid beat ...
so I decided it was something I'd have to learn to deal with it. = delete the last 'it'
I really enjoy your story and writing, as you know. Ulla:)))

    Thank you so much for the review and comments. i'm so glad you like my story. Thank for catching the spags. Those were sentences I'd changed recently. I should know better than not to go back and reread what I've changed. I make mistakes every time I don't reread.

I am still enjoying reading these memoirs. You do a great job bringing common facts into fun to read posts. I, for one, am glad you're doing this. I'm sure your children and grandchildren will also enjoy them.

    My children are very glad I'm doing this and they seem to enjoy reading them. I wish my parents had done this. I pleased and amazed that other people seen to like reading them too because I doubt if my life is much different from anyone else. Still we all have our unique experiences. I appreciate you continuing to read them.

These chapters are interesting, and well written. In some parts I want to help, or even comfort you. That means your writing grabs the attention of the reader! I saw one place that made me stop reading, it was "...begin happening..." I suggest "occurs" in place of that.
on a personal note. While returning from vacation in New England, I had a Stroke in the Chicago airport. My wife was almost picnicking, but I was calm and said we were going to continue our return to AZ. When we arrived, we went right to the hospital. My point is that you appreciate life so much more after pros have passed.
I hope you are well. I now have a stent and an implanted heart monitor.
You share, I share.
Best regards!
Dick

    Thank you Dick. I appreciate the review and the suggestion. I think that word is a better choice. A stroke is scary. I imagine your wife was panicking rather than picnicking. LOL I'm fine. I take a half an atenolol tablet once a day now and it keeps it from happening. The doctor wanted to ablation but I'd rather not.

    Thank you Patricia. All but one of my children are reading it as I write it and they do seem to like it. The other one promises to definitely read it if I die. She too busy at the moment. LOL. I do appreciate you reading it.
