Still sitting here waiting for the surgeon to come in with some news. Deb is still taking the pain meds, and doing her routine tasks to keep progress going forward. Fever comes and goes occasionally.
Jackie, Mieke, and I were sitting here just now, when a doctor and two nurses walked in. They were rubbing their fist together and wiping their hands like a mobster would do after a "hit", and Mom asked who they were... They answered, "we're the pain team." Jackie asked, are you here to inflict the pain, or take it away?
Thankfully they answered to take it away.
Turns out they were just using the Purell when they entered the room like they were supposed to do. It was quite funny.
Will post when we hear anything new.
Cheers,
Alden

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteI love the picture they picked to put at the top of your blog page. You are beautiful! So glad that Mieke chose to go to college at Hope (can't believe this Calvin fan just said that!) because she can be near you and Stan. I'm sure that is just exactly where she wants to be right now.
Fight this thing with every cell of your being! I know how much you love life and you can be assured that all of us are praying fervently on your behalf. Love you so much,
Ellen Jongsma
