From the traveling DR. RUTH

Well, after asking the computer-knowledgeable one to help make a new entry, I decided I would try it myself. I left on tuesday(Jan. 27) to help Darrin & Mandy with kids while Darrin was having one of his "stone-babies". Mandy was sick with the strep throat and feeling down and out. So I got the kids form Grandma Owings on my way over to Eagle Mountain. We went our separate ways the next morning, after a map from Darrin on how to get Remy to school. Remy knows the way, he can help. But when we got to the first turn, Remy said you have to go up the hill, so up the hill I went. "Grandma, I think you are going the wrong way. It is by a church." Right in front of me was a church, so I turn. Much further and I would have been in Alpine! A bus! Follow it! School signs! We're getting close! oh but it's a;pine Jr. High. More looking at the map, more driving. Oh look we found three more schools but, they weren't the right ones! But we did find alpine Jr. High a few times. Well, call the wife of the man that drew the map! No, answer. Drive some more, more schools but no Shelly elementary. And in the back seat, "Grandma , I think you are going the wrong way"! Oh thank you the phone is ringing, and the map drawer tell me a few more directions. Finally I find the school, but then Remy is only 45 minutes late. "Grandma, you have to take me to the office and tell them you got lost". The lady was very nice to me and I didn't have to sign my name! "Meet you back here in a few hours, Remy! So I take the road back the way I was supposed to go, so I know how to get back to pick up Remy again. I made it back, got Remy and head out for Eagle Mountain. Thursday, Darrin went with me; he said to get out of the house, or was it to make sure Remy wasn't late again! Mandy feeling somewhat better, went back with us to get Remy. We had just started shopping in Costco, when Tate had a few problems and was complaining of his back hurting. Called the Dr. who said come as soon as you can. Then He sent Tate to Mt. Timpanogas Hospital for sono-gram. Stones, Appendix, for Kidney Infection? Meet Lori for drink and cookies. Headed home with Remy. Headed back to Orem, when Lori called to take us out to dinner. It was yummy! Headed back home to Eagle Mountain with the car full of sick people, Darrin,dog-tired, Mandy, strepth,Tate, Kidney infection and Remy saying his throat hurt. After delivering a car full of tired and sick people, Dr. Ruth headed to Lehi for the next visit, the Baird family. It was great to see who I could and maybe I can catch the rest another time. Signing off , for this trial on the blog. Dr. Ruth Always a pleasure to serve! love to all!!! May health, the Lord and His blessings be with you all!
