So, here I was worried about the boys being too sick for Auntie Heather to handle, well it turns out that Heather was the one in need of medical attention last night!
We came home just before midnight last night from Christmas Party #1 to find Heather having a major nose bleed.This went on for three and a half hours. No lie! After the first thirty minutes I called the health line and they said to put pressure on her nose for 10 minutes at a time for up to three times and if that doesn't work then head to the hospital. After twenty five minutes we started towards the hospital in Black Diamond and after they watched her pinch her nose for thirty minutes straight they decided to pack her nose with some cocaine covered swabbies. Jeff and I weren't too sure if we heard the doctor right and I think we must have asked him two or three more times. You said cocaine right?!? So, on the upside the nose bleed finally stopped, on the downside Jeff was stuck making small talk for Heather for the following couple hours until she settled down! Ha Ha!
I think I got home from the hospital at 4 this morning and H probably passed out or maybe I should say came down from her high around 5...

Alright Heather,
This is your cousin steven up in cold lake.
Dad does not belive that it was cocaine he said it must have been something else so....
Anyway now you know that there are more people reading your stuff.
Nope...it was cotton balls laced with cocaine...Less and Jeff asked a few times to make sure there that was really what he said...
cocaine is a vaso-nasal constrictor...i think is what the dr said...in plain English it constricts the blood vessels in the nose to stop the bleeding...
the dr couldnt see the source of the blood to cauterize it, so the cocaine was the next step to try...if that idnt work, it was going to be cotton packed into my nose for 36 hours...not pleasant im sure...right Dad...
just thought I would clear the air...
H
