Monday December 18th. This month is moving pretty fast, or so it seems. We are exactly one week from Christmas; and only two weeks from 2024. That countdown came really quickly all of a sudden. And yet, it seems like time is crawling along like a snail in a snowstorm. 

Our update on Ms. Kate is what makes time seem to crawl. We were really hoping that she could get this surgery done and over with prior to Christmas. But our last visit with the surgeon indicated that the fluids we are draining from hr are still showing abscess. And, rightfully so, they don’t want to do the surgery as long as the lesions are showing abscess. She ran out of her antibiotics and her surgeon took her off of them until after we can get another CT scan. So we are just continuing to flush out her drain tube twice a day and just wait. This Thursday she has her CT scan and then Friday she will see her surgeon for a another evaluation. If he decides that we can proceed with surgery, we will have to wait for “X” amount of days wile she gets the Coumadin out of her system; or they will put her in the hospital and maybe give her another plasma treatment to bring it down quickly. We just don’t know. So, we take life day by day. If we were not people of Faith, I’m not sure how we would be handling all of this. But, are are people of faith and we know God has the situation under control, regardless of what the outcome may be. 

In the meantime, I have two Sundays left of my job; that’s just three services. I will do two on Christmas Eve and one on New Years Eve; And out of the next 13 days we will have company for 10 of them. So, no pressure anywhere at all. LOL. 

You are now caught up in the Heumann web of excitement and I’ll stop with that today. I hope your week will be fully blessed. Peace.
