This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

2022-The Givan's Year of Heart and Hoof

2022 did not go exactly as planned, actually not as planned at all.  Here is a recap:

February:             Tim goes in for more heart stents.

March:                  End of the month Kate and Tim pick up CJ, Kate’s next service dog.  She is going to be great at the job and is a sweetie.

April:                     Auntie has a surprise heart attack.  Receives 2 stents and then 10 days later has two more stents.

May:                      Tim and Auntie both graduate from Cardiac Rehab.

June:                     Relatively uneventful.

July:                       Kate breaks her ankle (hoof) in many places.

August:                Kate has surgery on ankle.

September:        Tim has open heart surgery.  Auntie now providing all transportation.

October:              Theresa and Chris visit for a week to help out decrepit family.

November:         Chris starts job at the Smithsonian.  Tim has another heart cath after a “tiny heart attack”.

December:         All humans stay out of hospital but CJ has to have an emergency vet run for tummy issues. 

We were very glad to see the year end and hold out hope for a better 2023.
