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

Still Waiting

Alan went back to the hospital about 7p last night. I came home about 10p because they said his procedure wouldn't be until 10a today. My sister Wanda and her husband Eddie are here with me. We all got up at 5a and got to the hospital a little after 7a. They put Alan's procedure off until tomorrow at 1p, because the doctor was backed up today. He will have a bronchioscope and they will remove some fluid and I think put in a chest tube or tubes. They said they did not know how long he would have to stay. I came home early tonight because Wanda and Eddie are cooking a wonderful homecooked dinner for me. It has been awhile since I ate someone else's cooking. I am excited.

Anna Kate's surgeon said her surgery went well but that she would have some pain. He gave her some medicine for pain. I talked to her and her voice was soft, sweet, and a little groggy. When I asked how she felt, she said "I had to take a little nap when I got home, Nana." I said "Surgery is tough." She said "YEP". Please keep praying her through the pain.

Love, Judy
