Just sitting here thinking about my father-in-law/Pappaw (Reggie) and holding him up in prayer. He has surgery tomorrow on one of his legs (he will have the other one done in a few weeks) to unclog the arteries which are 75% blocked. I pray that he will feel an ease and a calmness tonight while trying to sleep and tomorrow morning when he prepares for surgery, and will know that by God's grace he is going to walk out of there feeling like a new man! I also pray for Dr. Doosey who will be performing the surgery. May God guide his skilled hands so that he can relieve Dad's pain.
Pappaw has had a tough year. In January he had quadruple by-pass surgery and then found out this summer that he has pre-leukemia (he is still making red blood cells but they are not maturing for the body to use). This will involve yet more tests and hospital visits for either Procrit shots or blood transfusions. Like he says, "The golden years aren't too golden right now!" It's going to get better Dad!
The picture above was taken this past Easter of Pappaw, Graham and Mammy. Yes, the boys still love to hunt for eggs filled with change and dollar bills (who wouldn't!), and their baskets that Mammy, Marjorie, fills with lots of candy! They have done this every Easter and Mom and I love to hide all of the eggs and watch the boys try to find them.
Thinking of you both tonight and can't wait until you are walking without pain Dad! Love you!
