UPDATE ON FAMILY

THE SURGEON IN HUNTSVILLE TOLD US TO FORGET ABOUT THE WORD ANEURYSM, TO JUST BLOCK IT OUT OF OUR MINDS, THAT WORD SCARES US. TIM HAS A VALVE THAT LEAKS AND THAT IS WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT NOW. TIM HAD THREE MORE TEST YESTERDAY AND THEY WILL LET US KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE ANOTHER HEART CATHE SET UP FOR HIM. THE ONE THAT WAS DONE HERE WASN'T ANY GOOD, SO HE HAS TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN. HE TAKES A BLOOD THINNER SO HE HAS TO TAKE A ROUND OF 10 SHOTS (OVER $600.00) OR GO IN THE HOSPITAL AND GET VITAMIN K THROUGH A IV. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I'M GUESSING BECAUSE HE'S HAD TWO AND IT HAS BEEN DONE BOTH WAYS. THEN WE GO BACK TO SEE THE DR.

TIM'S BROTHER-IN-LAW JIM IS BACK IN THE CCICU, HIS KIDNEYS SHUT DOWN. HE WAS DOING SO GOOD AND WE WERE THINKING HE WOULD GO HOME SOON. HE'S DEPRESSED AND HE'S GIVEN UP. HIS DAUGHTER FLEW IN YESTERDAY SO PRAYING SHE CAN HELP HIM FIGHT. AT LEAST THEY ARE LETTING HIS WIFE STAY IN HIS ROOM. THEY HAVE 4 EMPTY ROOMS SO THEY DON'T NEED IT.

AUNT JANELLE IS DOING PRETTY GOOD.SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO HUNTSVILLE, JUST SEE HER DR IF SHE NEEDS ANYTHING. SHE'S STILL PRETTY SORE BUT HEALING.
I MADE HER A CARD AND PUT EVERYONE'S COMMENTS IN IT I JUST HAVEN'T GAVE IT TO HER YET.

I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PRAYERS AND COMMENTS ON OUR FAMILY. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH ALL THIS.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT DAY AND A BLESSED THANKSGIVING.
