Hi Friends, Carol had her surgery on Monday and it went about 4 times longer than anticipated. What was supposed to be a 3 inch incision turned into about 14 inches and a whole lot of other complications. We knew she was pretty fragile going in but were not quite ready for the ordeal. We thought we could take her home by around noon, but it was after 7:00 pm before we got home and really was pushing it at that. The doctor wanted to keep her overnight because of all the side complications, but insurance would not go for it, So took her home, and a friend who is a nurse came over and helped me out. I am a lousy nurse but had to be one anyway. Carol is much better today 4 days later but will be in recovery for much longer than anticipated. Not sure how soon they can start the new type of treatments. Was supposed to be 6 weeks, but may be longer now. The good thing is she came through it alive, and should be able to start the new experimental treatments sometime. The next day April 4th, our daughter Jennifer called and told us that our new grandson, Eli, was born Tuesday afternoon, and everyone is healthy and happy there in Colorado. We would love to go out and see them, but will have to wait indefinitely now.. Vicky, we pray for Trent and his family including you everyday. Nancy, we are praying for your situation as well. We understand what a burden it must be to try to help some of these kids. I heard just yesterday that suicide was the second leading cause of death for college age kids. It may be worse than that for slightly younger kids. I know when I was a sophomore in high school, one of my best friends from the football team, committed suicide. It was a real shock. Obviously, I still remember it today. By the way, we still have a cassette player, it is combination unit along with a CD player, but it does work. Imay have to blow the dust off of it. I would love to hear Pastor Lee again, even on tape. Thanks, Wes
