Alan's Reflections

First of all, I would like to thank you for your prayers and concern for us - Judy and me. Your prayers are especially appreciated because through prayer and God's help anything is possible. Faith, determination, family, and friends are going to be the anchors that pull me through this difficult time. (I am a Navy guy, you know.)

Some of you like to give me a hard time, that is appreciated too! I know you are just doing so because you care. I look forward to many more fun times with each of you. May God bless and keep you.

Signing off with the name my grandchildren call me,
Dude

Oops

Dad made it all the way to the operating table, and the physicians decided to examine the available lungs one last time.   The doctors determined that the lungs had deteriorated too quickly and were not going to be acceptable after all.   Dad was then brought back to pre-op/post-op to have his IV and monitor devices removed.  He had been back in the surgical area for an hour and a half before Mom got the word.  The doctor spoke to all of us and was extremely apologetic.  We were reminded that even the doctors are not in control - only our God is.  I know it is difficult to understand; we do not understand either.  Dad and Mom live in this uncertainty day in and day out right now.

I'm sorry for not being able to post an update until now.  We did not get in the bed until 3:30am. We appreciate your thoughts and your prayers.  We hope that we will have more news to post soon.

Blessings, Traci
