Mitt's Biggest Fan

Funny story about mom: Wednesday, February 29th mom was life-flighted to L.D.S. Hospital for a "shot in the dark chance" of staying alive. After a horrendous morning of not being able to breathe and then sedation and life supporting devices to keep her alive, she made it to Salt Lake. For the remainder of that day, she was pretty sedated and out of it. Her family stayed nearby just in case she didn't make it at any moment.


The next morning, she was less sedated and actually woke up quite alert. We were all very happy for that. She couldn't talk because she had a ventilator in place but as soon as we came into the I.C.U. room she wanted a piece of paper so that she could write something down. Thinking that it might be her dying wish, we hurried and got her paper and a clipboard. Still very week from the previous day and her overall condition, she carefully wrote this message:

"Did Romney win?"

It was obvious to us what she was most concerned about! Not her family, not the terrible roads, and not her own life status; but rather, the previous nights GOP election results!
