Good morning and happy mid-week. It’s another cold sunny winter morning. I’m thankful that we are in a weather zone that doesn’t get a lot of snow. Last night my favorite weather forecaster said the odds of a white Christmas for us are extremely slim; in fact the temperatures will be warmer than normal. I’ll take it. 

Well our hopes and plans for Ms. Kate have been less than successful. We were really hoping that she could have her surgery before Christmas but that is not to be. It will be 2024 before she gets it done. We had really hoped we wouldn’t go into a new year facing another hospitalization and surgery. But — the reasons are valid. The fluid we are extracting from Kate still show signs of infection and they don’t want to do surgery as long as it does unless it is an emergency. Kate’s situation, while critical and surgery is absolutely necessary, it is not yet an emergency. So all precautions should be taken. It’s a pain in the butt —— but it is good medicine. Got to just leave in the hands of God. 

We are currently waiting for her surgeon’s office to get another CT scheduled so we can see how she is progressing.  When you bounce between several doctors it is hard to keep up because they don’t necessarily talk to one another. Right now she has a family doctor, a surgeon, a heart specialist, a radiologist, and an oncologist that she bounces back an forth to. Plus our dentist and optometrist. It’s no wonder our Rolodex names all start with Dr. 

That’s it for today. I pray you will have aa wonderful week. Peace.
