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

2009 is Going to be a Great Year

Happy New Year!!! I hope all of you had a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year. We did. The last few years we have started the tradition of spending the night at Traci & Mark's, so we get to see the kids as they find all that Santa leaves them. We have breakfast there, and then they come here for dinner.

We head back to Duke on Wednesday evening. Alan is going to have the stomach wrap on the 15th, and on the 14th we will meet with the anestheisiologist. We will also go to clinic for his usual blood work, xrays, and pulmonary function tests, and see Dr. Zaas. Traci took Alan to meet with the surgeon last week, and he said the hospital stay will be 2 or 3 days. So, I guess we are looking at Saturday or Sunday to come home. Please say a prayer for him as he goes through this procedure.

Love to each of you, Alan & Judy
