Adam came home with stents and alot of pain. We made it till Thursday the 26th. It was time for them to be removed. Our little ducks wasn’t definitely in a row that morning. We made it past the Tillatoba creek bridge and Adam said , “Are you kidding me?” We had a flat in my brand new vehicle on the interstate. The valve stem just broke. We had to be rescued by Adam’s mom, Jennylou Chambers. Dale and Claude Dorris had to put my spare on because Adam couldn’t lift anything.
