I thought not to be here for my 53rd birthday, but here I am still!
I thought not to be here for my 53rd birthday, but here I am still!
We had a small procedure requiring a few stitches performed at the surgeon, Dr. Price's office during my visit on Tuesday this week. We have been having bag leak issues with resulting at least daily bag changes because there was a lot of mucus leaking.
I am still tired from the trip to CA-OR-WA-ID-WY, but happy I was able to go be with extended family on a more positive note. The last visit was very sober and in some ways shocking to the California families. I left with much happier feelings this time. Now, it is good to be home and with my family again. Mom and Dad have provided their 31' motor home to us so we can do some family camping in conscience and build some additional family end of life memories per our latest bucket list . . .

I also remembered your birthday and knelt that morning to thank Heavenly Father for giving you more time with your family. I dearly love each of you. I feel Father is blessing each of our lives by allowing us to observe the tender mercies given to yours. What a blessing..... AND Michelle's birthday is a very short time away. :-)
Love, Pana Lou
