Good Thursday

Hi guys,
Yes Stacy is correct. Today is the UPO doctor day! Not sure what to expect but I'll let you know what I find out. My appointment is at 9:20.
Dean and I take the folks back to Alabama tomorrow. They've put their names on a list for an assisted living apartment here in Michigan for July. They hope to put their house on the market down south and spend the next month preparing with the help of Dean's sister. We continue to pray for wisdom and strength. Our next concern is that when they return, they might settle back into their old routines and not follow through. I've been researching assistance programs in Alabama just in case that happens but there really isn't much out there.
So today we pack up, have a last visit with Dean's grandma and get ready for the 12 hours in reverse. Please pray for traveling mercy and a good night's sleep tonight!

Update: The UPO has turned out not to be a third ovary like some people insisted it was. It is...we don't know what it is. It is larger than it was in March and my actual second right ovary is MIA. It's either blocked by the UPO or simply gone. I'll be having surgery in the next few weeks and at that time the doctor will either remove the ovary or proceed to complete hysterectomy depending on what they see in there. They aren't sure what they're looking at right now. So keep praying and if anybody happens to see my right ovary, please send her home.

You never know with older folks! When we're around, Dave's dad talks a good game about how he's going to call the lawyer and (finally) make a will and so on. As soon as we're gone, nothing happens! Dave told him, "it's not about leaving me money, it's about YOU having a say in where YOUR money goes, the family or Uncle Sam!" About 2 years ago, Dave told me he was dropping it. If that's what he wants, it's his to do with WHAT he wants! Hopefully they will stay the course and see the wisdom in this decision.

May God give you traveling mercies, Sara and Dean. May the folks be encouraged from the visit with you to follow through with the move. May the Lord supply them with a buyer for their home. In Jesus name .. Amen

You are good children looking after the folks!

you're ovary was last seen in Kalamzoo with Elvis, enjoying a whopper with cheese, no onion, extra pickle, cut in half, chocolate shake.

dear sara... i was wondering how the visit went with dean's parents.
i am glad that it went well, and i will be praying for your traveling mercies and also i will pray for that couplde not to slip back into their old ways!!

sara,i hope that when it is time for your surgery that you will get your mama to put it on the stripes and that way we will not neglect to pray for you.
i have no spare ovaries, right or left.
i had a hysterectomy 12 years ago!

god's blessings...love terry

margie...that elvis sure has strange tastes...ha...but what??? no gravy?

Sara...praying as you make the journey back to Alabama. And that Dean's parents home will sell quickly...so that they can get the move over and done with, before the snow flies once more!
As for the Ovary that is MIA...I will be praying. God holds you, if He can heal a hole in your heart. He will certainly deal with her!!!

Sara said...

Do you think maybe God plugged the hole in my heart with my right ovary?

Praying for a safe trip .. for Dean's folks to do what needs doing for their well being and Dean's peace of mind ... my ovaries have been missing for years ... uterus was removed surgically (how else would it be removed? Duh!) many years ago .. when I was secatary at Mamre in fact...although the surgery wasn't done IN the church ... it was done in a hospital.
I loveth you Thara. Be well & safe.

You have such a powerful, genetically flawless left ovary that produced two brilliant sons, why would you even need a right one??

Margie said...

Phyllis said your ovary must be in there somewhere, you couldn't have pooped it out!
