Prayers needed tonight and tomorrow

Linda is scheduled for surgery on the left elbow (that hasn't healed over the bone) at UAMS tomorrow morning at 7:15. She will have to stay up to 5 days or more to insure sterile dressing changes and prevent infection

The main concern now is tomorrow's surgery and praying that the deep cuts and debreding that they have to do won't lead to a bone infection. If this promotes healing, then it will be prepared for the skin graft they will do on the elbow. After skin graft has healed, they will do the orthopaedic work on the broken bones in that forearm. There is still a while to wait. It is certainly a test of patience.

Today she met with Dr. Gruenwald who will do the orthoaedic surgery after about 5 weeks if all goes well. He said he'd trust Dr. Yeun with his life. This is good for that is exactly what she is doing.

Linda asked me to let everyone know that all who sent these wonderful dishes for them to eat this week are so loved and appreciated.

She extends her heartfelt love and appreciation to Nancy Wood, who saw weeks ago that last Monday she was assigned to write a paper to present at that Aesthetic Club meeting. She wrote the paper and presested it for her. Mom said that was the most unselfish gift from Nancy to her that she could imagine. Thanks and love to you, Nancy. You did a beautiful job.
