Nicole, Mother, Daddy updates

Nicole made it to Haiti and is doing well.  She asked for prayers for focus as she said she is feeling spiritually dry.  I think she may just be really really tired! :-)  But, I'm praying for focus for her, just the same.  She said her battery operated fan is a life saver!!

Mother's surgery is scheduled for Weds at 12 noon.  I delivered 5 of her dogs to their temporary homes this weekend...Casey to Linda, Mindy & Corky to Kelly, Mouse to Susie, and Suzy to Judy.  Whew...what a weekend!  Very emotionally draining for mother.  An unbelievable amount of planning, organizing, cooking, etc. was involved in finding and placing all of her dogs in "foster homes" while she is in the hospital and then at home recuperating from her surgery to correct her abdominal aneurism.  Please pray for her..not only that the surgery goes perfectly and that she recovers quickly, but that she will experience peace about having to "leave" her babies with strangers.  Most of them are rescues and she feels so guilty about sending them away since she's afraid it will be so scary for them.  Also, I will be praying that perhaps a few of them may become permanent fixtures in their temporary homes..this would be a huge blessing for mother, who, as usual, has taken on more than she should.  I also would like to THANK all of you who have volunteered to care for her dogs while she is recoovering.  You have no idea how much it means to her and to me to know that you will treat them with the same amount of love and attention that she does.  Thank you so much!

My dad's test results showed that he has angina--so the docs put a nitro patch on him which he will wear 24/7.  He is still struggling with low energy and weakness.  He has an appt with a blood specialist this week to try and determine the cause (anemia is the diagnosis so far) and hopefully some kind of treatment that will help him feel better.  He can't take iron pills, so it will have to be something else.

Got to see Ry for a few minutes...dropped Jack off yesterday and picked him up this afternoon.  He and Dennis kept Jack while I was helping mother...very nice of them.  Ry got his curlylocks cut, but not severely...just enough.  Love the new look!!

Now, I need to go CALL Daddy.  My phone battery was dead from all the calls today!  But, the most important one has yet to be made...to wish my dad Happy Father's Day...to the best Daddy in the universe.  Can't wait to tell him that!!
