Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted much, I've had a LOT going on. Thought I was going to be able to go home from the hospital this weekend, but after running some tube feedings, it was found that there's another blockage in my intestines, so now I'm being fed just intraveniously again. They're going to watch me for a couple days and if the blockage doesn't resolve itself then I guess surgery it probably is. I've been here over 3 weeks now...but, I guess I know my tv schedule pretty well! ha. I have wonderful friends and family that take turns spending the night/days with me. I just figured some of you may be wondering what's going on, and that's the gist of it. I hope everyone is well!
Cathy

    Thinking of You Often!
    Hey Cath,

    Al and I have been thinking of you daily and of course praying. I stinks that you couldn't go home like you had planned, and that you have another blockage. I sure do pray
    that it resolves itself. If surgery is needed well then it's need. I'm sure you will do fine.

    Al's surgery is tomarrow so I am a bit anxious as you would expect.

    Always in our thoughts and prayers, Get better soon.
    With LOTS OF HUGS AND PRAYERS!!!
    GOD BLESS
    KATH
