Kyler, Boys, Boys and More Boys, Hearts, Results and Two Births in Two Days

 Welcome to the world

Kyler (K for the sound of 

Caleb, and yler

for Tyler which is Caleb's

middle name, dad).

And number five of my

great grandkids, 2nd one in the 

bloodline.

Kyler came into the world,

on his big brother, Alistur's bday, 

yesterday, almost at the same time as

he did.

NOW~ NO MORE BOYS

PLEASE.

Grandkids~

three blood born

from my daughter that turned

around and married a man with 

FOUR (4) boys.

Giving me 7 grandSONS.

My blood grandson brought another

boy to the mix with Alistur when

he met Triniti.

Now he gives me this 

little boy.

Brayden, son of my son in law,

has given me Beckham who

will be a yr old in Dec.....

AND

expecting a boy in Jan.

Let's count again,

7 grandsons,

3 great grandsons with one

AND

only two girls in that mix.

Here are the brats, kids

Counting again...

More BOYS than there

are GIRLS!

I might not have been given

a little girl for a grandchild but

I got two adorable ones for 

great grands.

Now, moving on to better news but 

first, I have to set the scene for you....

My father had his first heart attack

in his 30's. Being so young at the time,

I had no clue what this was leading up 

to. Ten or so years before his death at the 

age 59, we were told that he had a 

heart condition, Cardiomyopathy.

Later we found that this 

cardiomyopathy was hereditary

and that my grandfather had it.

Later as the years moved on and 

I was older, had kids of my own,

we learned more about this 

hereditary gene. 

Not only did it claim the life

of my dad, and grandfather, 

it also took two aunts, and

possibly the 3rd aunt, and two 

uncles. WOW.....that is one

inherited trait I was hoping would

skip me and my kids. But this is 

also something that does not rear

its ugly head until later in life. 

With all that said, I was older

my kids were grown and it was not

until 2008 when I lost my last

aunt to this mess.

It was just recently after digging

and thanks to FB and our 

page, Montgomery Cousins, that

I learned this went back at least

to my great grandfather and learned

about those uncles I mentioned 

earlier. But you see, that did not 

stop with that generation, hence the 

word, hereditary. My nephew, 

oldest brother's son was diagnosed

with cardiomyopathy, 17 years old.

HAHA...sorry, not a great pic of 

my handsome nephew but I was 

shooting for those in the back taking a 

pic while I took a pic.

We all seem to want to make

faces when we have our pic made.

At this point it might appear that this

horrible crap skipped my generation,

Ray, Me and Mark. But nope, it 

targeted Ray, which in turn is when

we learned that if Chase had it, it 

had to be past to him from his dad.

But that is not the only family 

affected. Same generation, my

Ray and my cousins, both sisters,

daughters of the last relative, my last

aunt to go from this issue, had it.

It moved on to a daughter of each

one of my cousins, which if I have confused

you yet, is Chase's generation.

With all this heart crap passing

here and there when I was younger

there was no thing like genetic 

testing. We just had to live, wonder

and wait and see.

However, with my brother, his son, 

and some heart issues with Chases

son it spurred Vanderbilt in wanting 

genetic testing done. 

That is where I entered the pic.

My daughter was having palpations 

and with the history, this lead us to 

Vandy. She is fine, mostly 

hormones with perimenopause causing 

hers. But the most likely person, being

connected with Ray, to test in my family

was me. 

My results are back and .............................................

......................................................

wait for it..................................

......................................................

....................................................

.....................................................

I do not carry the gene. 

Now, that means that is one thing my

side of this family will not 

inherit!!!!!!!!

 

You see, I was not worried for me, 

but I did worry about Amber and Cory, 

Cory who has a murmur and although there

might not be a connection, it added to my conceern.

But it also means, that 

Caleb, DJ and Braden will not 

have this gene, 

neither will Felicity or 

Kyler, or any family members

to come afterwards. 

With my health issues, my mom

telling me I got in the wrong 

line for body parts, I used to fear having

gotten this, only like I said, at this 

point in my life, I was not worried for

me. I just wanted to know that I 

did not pass it down the line, and 

the way this family is growing, 

it's nice to know.

And with that said, Chase's

sister, who shows no sign on 

the gene, is having her

4th kid today. Seems boys are

in the air. This will be her 3rd 

boy with only one girl to fend

for herself.

You know what, I am super glad

also, that I am out of the age of 

having kids and the younger

generation is all about it.

Wow, the thoughts, 

YUCK!

Have a merry day,

Pam

Update as I was setting this up in 

a font, color, enlarging pics and etc I 

got word, Paige and baby are fine.
