Ok folks, here we go! I go to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Montefiore @ 5:AM on Tuesday, 23rd. The surgery starts @ 7:15 AM. It will take about 10 hours. We will keep you updated!

So I went to some appt.s on Tuesday. Wednesday was my big 8 hour day of appts. 2 nurses were talking with me and found out I had all of my large intestine and a gastric by-pass. They were grinning from ear to ear!!! They thought the Dr. could just put me back together and I'd be fine. Then the Dr. came in and said the same. So I get to have a 7-10 hour surgery on Tuesday the 23. No waiting for parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is great! I don't know much more the surgical team will call me before Tuesday to let me know when to be there and all that garb.

Stay tuned for the next amazing turn of events in my life!!

Thanks for all your support, love and prayers!

I'm in Pittsburgh!

Count Down

Ok - I leave in one week and one day. It's starting to get a little anxious for me. Let's see, we got the AC fixed in the house. Then Bob was fired. On our way to church on that 1st Sunday that Bob could go to church with us (because he didn't have a job), the AC in the Yukon quit! Just QUIT! Now we all know that this is not a good time of year to go without AC in a car. We got it in the shop and they needed to keep it over the weekend. It was quite a sight to all 6 of us in the Sentra going to church the next Sunday! Kara and Brad were in front and Bob, Dallin and Trevor were in the back with me on Bob's lap. Oh what a hoot!!!!

Marjon from the newspaper came over to interview us for an article for the Az Republic. She listen to our story and asked some questions. We entertained her for over an hour. She was very nice and compassionate. She said she would send a photographer over to take some photos for the paper too. Saturday, June 6, our story was released in the local area paper. I think that the big story goes in the Republic on Tuesday in the Living section.

The Cobra info finally came. We were able to pay that. Now we have to let that update and EVERYTHING goes back to normal.

The date has gone from June 10th to July 1st to June 24th to June 17th. That's were it stays. I leave June 15th for some undetermined time. I can't imagine being gone that long! Mom and Dad are meeting me in Pittsburgh. They are staying as long as I am.

Just keep your prayers with me and my family! Thanks for all you do for us!

Later,

Sue
