Man's Best Friend

Well folks, surgery went smooth. Big toe and one next to it had to be taken and skin was taken from his right thigh and grafted onto some places on both hands. Cliff has been running a fever post surgery and him and I are patiently waiting for it to break. Once this happens I think we'll begin to see some major strides. If there's one thing I can request of you good people, it's the prayers for his fever to permanently subside. The doctor says we'll be out by Memorial Day, but I'm crossing my fingers extra tight that it will be sooner. Bandages come off for the first time tomorrow and Cliff is anxious to see what lies beneath. He's been looking down at his foot and hands with awe. Again today I told him about what happened and he said, "Really? How come I didn't know this?" Thanks for your love and prayers, please don't forget about us!

Sandy Bachler forwarded your blog to me; I'm so sorry to hear about your husband and have added him to my prayers. I looked through the rest of your blog; congratulations on your graduation. I was excited to note that Deaf Studies was part of your degree--you were great with Steven back in 2nd grade!

Life is certainly full of challenges. I hope that you will find the strength and comfort you need to get through this moment. We love you and wish we could be there to wrap our arms around ya!

Hi Jenna--
I thought of you on your birthday,I'm sending you some imaginary deep pink peonies and lots of love. Tell Cliff Hi for me and that I can't wait for him to be well enough to come and visit. Love you and please call if you'd like to chat, or need a hospital visit, ok?
