4/6 Monday morning

Still no surgery!!!! Cindy is beginning to think she is going to be there forever!! The surgeon had OK'd surgery for today, but the neurosurgeon doesn't do surgeries on Monday. We had the nurse go through the files, called drs but it didn't do any good. We thought it was scheduled, but she wasn't listed on the schedule, so more disappointment, but she is getting better and stronger, although some days are better than others. Her eating has to improve yet before they will release her, but yesterday that also was better. Wish I had that problem!! She was so terribly nauseated for so long, that she is still a little afraid to eat.

Mrs. Cammenga, I read your blog and called Cindy and read it to her, we each had a chuckle out of that one!

If Cindy didn't have those tubes hanging out of her with the bags of spinal fluid, I think she would try to make an escape, but she knows that wouldn't work too well and we have been reminding her of that also.

Cindy is turning 40 on July 21. She has been saying for months now that she is really hoping and praying for very healthy 40's since her 30's have been not very healthy. We are all praying for the same thing! Let's hope and pray that this surgery will be the last of the many that she has had these last years.

Let's hope and pray that surgery WILL now be scheduled for tomorrow and it will be very successful. The headaches are gone, almost too much spinal fluid drainage now since there is no restrictions.

Again, thanks to everyone for your support, prayers, emails, visits, etc. It has made this long journey much easier with your support.

Cindy,
We are so happy that things are turning around and that there seems to be some good finally coming to light through all this. You have been through so much, your body, and your mind (being a wife and mother with all the anxieties that go with that), and your fears. We have been praying for you and checking your blog daily, and only wish we lived closer to help and show our support. We hope surgery is not delayed again, and that you have a rapid recovery. We pray that God will continue to give you grace sufficient for each days trials and ups and downs. Happy Birthday a little early!! Pamela Kaptein

Hey Cindy,

My prayer today is that they get the surgery scheduled for tomorrow. Everyone is so anxious for you to be home again. And no one is more anxious than you! :) We pray that things go well this week. Thinking of you always!
