We had a small family picnic at the outside cafeteria today with the cafeteria food - not bad!! Cindy just enjoys having someone there, it just makes the days go faster. Today wasn't as good a day as yesterday. She's getting anxious about the surgery which is scheduled for Monday, but no time yet. She wants to talk to the dr ahead of time, only wants the tubes changed. She's just gone through so much and the valves are working, so why change them - our theory. The neurosureon from Milwaukee also said the same thing when Cindy talked to him this past week.
Cindy has just gone through so much the last three years and doesn't want to go through any more than she has to.
We read from Psalms 139 this morning, and it talks about how we are created in our mother's womb and also about how God knows our days even before we are born. We do not understand the Lord's ways but as we read in this Psalm and many others that God knows all things and they are for His purpose.
Please keep praying for Cindy.
Thank You!

I'm so glad that your family could be together for the 4th...even if it had to still be at the hospital:) We are all praying that she will be out of there and back home very soon. I can totally see why you would all be apprehensive about another surgery and I have wondered, too, if this surgery really needs to take place. Hopefully by Monday you will all have peace with it either way. We continue to pray for Cindy as she has good days and also discouraging days. Our thoughts are with you all!

It's Sunday night. I just read the 4th of July blog. Happy to hear that you found joy in being together outside the hospital for a short time. Our prayers,for successful surgery are with you all for Monday.
A bit of chit-chat.. Went to Bellingham WA URC this AM and sat next to the Kaptiens from Mt Vernon.. kind threw me tho..:) When you remember someone from MT, see them in Sioux Center, IA and they live in MT Vernon WA,...and then see then in Bellingham?.. I was a bit "foggy on recall" :)
