After all our previous surgeries (where Jill has never been the "expected time"), I phoned this morning at 10:30 to Edmonton.  Jill and her sister were just about to leave their overnight stay. 

Now, at 5:15 a white car appeared in the driveway.  Out came two travellers.  Both in good shape. 

We’re still talking at 6:00.  Things are good.  Thank God, and thank you for your prayers.

Surgery goes well

Jill was in for surgery at 7:20.  The surgery seems not to have been too long – a small incision, replacement of the battery and into the recovery area.  By 4:00 she was discharged (an unusual thing for her many surgeries over the years).  She will stay overnight in Edmonton and plans to be back in Kindersley tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for prayers along the way!!

Surgery tomorrow

Well, I got word this afternoon.

The heart pacemaker battery will be replaced tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.  Jill heads to the hospital at 5:30 in the morning, then surgery is scheduled for 7:20.  By afternoon we should have some sense of how things are going.

Keep you informed!

Upon their arrival!

I’m just finishing a nap.  Then my exercises. 

I hear small feet.  A bit of a cough. Some ladies talking.

I head to the kitchen.  My daughter has arrived.  With her two year old son.

The outdoors beckon.  We head outside.  Walk up and down —  not too far. 

Now he’s drawing.  I’m appreciating the artist of the century. 

That’s what grandparents are for!!
