No Real News

Joy has completed all of the tests that we are aware of and it does not appear that the results will preclude her from having the stomach surgery. The question is, when?

She may be released tomorrow but then have to wait "a brief period of time" before surgery. Clearly, this is not what she wants. Instead, she would prefer to stay in, have surgery, recover, return to apartment for brief period of time and then head north. She does not agree with the doctors that the rehab activities will strengthen her as much as they think it will. And, she is getting really, really anxious to eat and drink something!!!! Both doctors will confer tomorrow and hopefully, we will know the plan.

More tomorrow.

Go get 'em Joy! If it was us, we'd sure want out of that hospital ASAP. Maybe the doctors agree with your expert opinion. At least there are no major issues to deal with. We're hoping you can get the surgery soon and get on with your life. Love to all, Steve & Trina

Joy, remember you are the pastor and they are the doctors. We have to trust they know best for you. But, I would like to see how long THEY could go without eating or drinking. You are one strong lady! It won't be too long before you can return to cold, windy, possibly snowy Illinois. Are you really certain you want that?
Love and Prayers, Sharon
