Hopefully the bandages will be coming off this Tuesday from last weeks surgery. I will get to see my surgeon at that point and see how things are healing up.
I'm feeling well. I get tired occasionally and Brett has more energy than I do. However he is quick to say go grab your chair, then he keeps on going. He knows I can go so far and then it's time to rest. What ever isn't done will be there to finish later. The kids are a great help. Helping out is good for them too.
Well, we're off to church. Then it's to great grandma's birthday! She's an amazing woman.
Looking up and thankful for today,

The Gallbladder detour...
Sooooo...at 2 in the morning Sheri felt a pain in her tummy. I said it's just the flu. At 6am she was throwing up...I said it's just the flu. At noon she was really complaining that it really, really hurt....I said it's just the flu, ride it out. At 2pm the whole family was on it's way to Wenatchee. Sheri's doctor said I think it's your Gallbladder....I said it's just the flu...maybe bad pizza. The doctor was right. 24 hours later she is minus one Gallbladder, and feel much better. I was incorrect in my diagnosis, strike one for Dr. Brett. They were able to do the less invasive surgery, so her recovery will be pretty quick. For your info this is totally unrelated to what else is going on with Sheri...just really bad luck, and two big gall stones. She is tough as always, and looking up.....are you? Hope so! Thanks again for all the support and prayer, we truely feel it!

Stehekin Bound!
A Hoy! We're off to Stehekin for the weekend. We went to Sheri's doctor in Wenatchee for her monthly appointment. Her blood numbers were super good today....more so then usual. I asked the doc if that was normal...she just looked at me and smiled and said, "Sheri is not normal." True.
This weekend is the one year mark of my Moms passing. So we thought what better to do to keep our minds clear then head to Stehekin....everything is clearer there. My Dad and Sister and her family are headed up too. The bummer is the bakery isn't open until next weekend....a good reason to go back.
We are praying that the gamma knife treatment is doing it's job (no real results for a few months), and for peace on this journey God has us on, and His continued healing. This week is tough though thinking of Mom. We miss her.

Loving Being Home
Home again, home again jiggity, jig, jig! It's nice to be home. I slept a little better last night.
The Gamma Knife surgery went well as far as we can tell. We won't get results for a month or two when we do another MRI on my head. For now my doctor is off on a well deserved vacation to Greece.
God continues to answer prayers though! I had one of my friends tell me they prayed that screwing on the frame to my head wouldn't hurt as much this time. And guess what? It didn't hurt as much as it did last time. I mentioned it didn't hurt as much to my doctor and he said, "maybe you just knew what to expect this time." That's possible, but I believe God had something to do with it too.
Yesterday, the day after gamma knife, I just did a little, then hit the tired wall in the afternoon. I was in bed by 7:00pm. Today we plan on going to the pancake breakfast and then to the parade. That has been our tradition for years as a family. Then we plan to rest the remainder of the day.
We are so thankful for God's provision. He continues to show us that we are in his hands and arms time and time again. I'll have to look back and see if I blogged the "little chapel" story, if not I will. It's just another example of how God shows us He is caring for us.
We continue to thank God for the miracles He is providing and has provided. We also continue to ask for complete healing. We look to Him for guidance and peace. He is our Hope.
We are looking up & wrapped in love.

Over the Mountain and Through the Woods
After waiting for the time to go to Harbor View and having it change 3 times. At the last minute, we are going over the mountain tonight and will be there at 6:30 a.m. We should be done about 2:00p.m. I only know that because that was our appointment time an hour ago. We are hoping to be able to come home afterwards...we'll see what the doc. says.
Upward and onward! Thank you for praying. We're loading the car now. God bless ya' all!
