We have not updated this site lately since nothing was proceeding according to our plan. However Joy continues to gain strength, shows improvement and feels the best post surgery.
Clinic went well today and her labs, x-rays and manometry test were satisfactory and all of Joy's doctors are convinced 100% that this surgery is necessary and the outcome should provide protection to the new lungs from reflux aspiration and therefore increasing her lifespan.
So you ask, "what is the delay?" Depends upon the &%$#(@$ surgeon's schedule and thus far we have not been successful in getting a date that sticks. Maybe next week? The following week? And, Joy is getting very, very, very hungry. Almost 5 months and no food and limited water.
Cathy and Kayce have been invited to one of our friends house for Thanksgiving dinner. Kevin is going out of town on a hunting trip. Caroline and Crystal along with niece Lora and her friend Erica will join Joy and me for Thanksgiving dinner at a local restaurant. Joy will sip water on ice while we indulge. She might nibble a little but don't tell anyone!
So, we enjoy the beautiful weather and fantastic fall foliage and pray for rain to help towards the 60 day remaining water supply for the area.
Happy Thanksgiving

I am sorry to read the blog to find out that no date has been scheduled as of today. Y'all enjoy your dinner with the family. Kayce and I look forward to our time with Laura and family. I will be more than happy to send all the rain we have been getting over the past few days to y'all. The only condition is, you take the snow we will be getting tonight with it, LOL. Stevie B promises that the 3 inches we are to be getting won't actually stick.Perhaps it would be a good time to learn how to use the snow plow. Happy Thanksgiving one and all. We sure do have a lot to be thankfull for this year. Cathy

Dear Joy & Wayne,
Sorry the surgery has been post poned yet again, but in the meantime you are gaining strength. I can't imange not hanving anything to eat or drink for so long. God surely is helping you all the way. Remember you are in our prayers and hope you are able to enjoy at least a bit of pumpkin pie. We Love ya and keep us posted. Thanks for letting us in on this part part of your life.
Happy Thanksgiving. Betty & Audrey
Dear Joy and Wayne
We are glad to hear that Joy is getting stronger and feeling better and hope that the Surgeons schedule opens up very soon.
Remember the humorous short prayer on patience? it goes kind of like this."Dear Lord grant me patience and do it now". Perhaps this will help. In Chicago we dogged any major snow fall but we did have heavy rain overnight. Our rain storm would have helped your area.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, we will pray that the Surgeon schedules the operation soon. You have been patient enough.
Love
Kitty and Bill
