Your continued prayers for my mother-in-law and our situation are appreciated. So far there is no word on the surgery date being moved back up. I will keep you posted though. She gets a day pass today to get some things done that she needs - like a hair cut and color - we girls need to look good you know - as well as some other things. Scott has the day off today to help her as well as take his grandfather to the doctor and get him some things he needs. Have a great day!!!
