A little Behind...

[Guest guest]

Richie - Great that things are moving forward! I was in the hosp.

for 3 days post-op. Had a little trouble breathing. Total recovery

though was still about 2 weeks. Not bad overall. My only

suggestion is to do ALL the breathing stuff they tell you!!!

in WI - I have also been told Mayo clinic is great. I went

to Froedert in Milwaukee. Dr. Blom there is also quite experienced

in the surgery, and GI Dr. Massey works closely with him. Good

Luck!!!

Kim - I know you won't see this for a bit, but Happy Surgery Day

today!!

Carolyn - I pray for you and you son that he gets the best care

possible. 'A' really sucks, but we can learn to live with it. Its

easy for me to say now, but I know if my son was diagnosed with

something like this, I would hate it more for him than I do for me

having it. I know a little something about childhood illnesses - I

started having symptoms of a slow developing cancer when I was 4 -

and kids really do have a way of handling these things!!

Biancka and Penny - Sorry to hear about the bad days. I really hope

things start/continue to improve.

Toomuchclutter - Thanks for the laugh(re: holiday diet)!!!!!

Everyone else(Tirams, , Doug, Lori, Sherry, Dawn, Gayle,

, , Ginny, Liz, in Va, and I know I'm missing

some(sorry!)): It may not mean much, but I do pray for all in this

group. I work for a Catholic non-profit organization and have asked

our Priests to remember all the wonderful people here in their

prayers also. I believe that no matter what a persons religious

beliefs, it just doesn't hurt to have more people caring for us!

Merry Christmas to All!!!
