News Flash! Just in on the wireless!

We've just walked in the door from our quickie run to Maine before we head down to Texas to get Sharon "Fixed!" Unlike a pet, she IS broke before the fix and, as a matter of fact, needs it rather badly. We had a delightful visit with Sharon's folks, including all of her siblings - two in Maine and one brother in West Virginia who we caught for lunch yesterday as we came through. Good trip, but quite hurried, both in visit time and in trip time!

We had barely gotten in the door when Sharon's phone rang. It was a call from Dr. Emerson's office in Plano confirming the office visit on Wednesday, Sept. 3, and the operation the next day on the 4th! Wow! We didn't know the operation was scheduled that soon, as a matter of fact, on the way home yesterday, we discussed our options of what we could do to kill the time between the office visit and whenever the operation was going to be. Guess we could have a nice dinner, now! All our discussions were just that, discussions! We are extremely grateful that things are going to happen quickly this time. Won't have the infernal "dread-time" that you usually go through between major steps!

"Thank you, Father, for the answer to prayer! Guide the hands of Dr. Emerson and staff as they minister to her needs. Give us the grace to wait patiently until that time! Give Sharon a quick recovery and a healing touch from Your Hand. Guide the hands of the caretakers during her recovery that they will provide the proper therapy to meet her needs! Amen!"

Oh what a bummer! I was so hoping that a hippy-chic like you would be done will all this surgery stuff. Well, we'll be thinking of you and praying for you, Joe and the Dr.'s.

Our prayers will be with you again through this next surgery. We'll look forward to seeing you up and running soon.

Thanks for keeping us updated and will look to see which suite you will be in this time around at the Extended Stay.

In Christ,
