Happy New Year ... and a few weeks!

Daddy is doing well -- and, as I've said before, when he's doing well I tend to forget that we have a blog to keep people posted. So I apologize that it's been a while, but that's a good sign! He visited his oncologist the week after Christmas, and his oncologist released him to his surgeon's care for follow up. Dr. B (the oncologist) told him that he doesn't need to see him anymore unless he has problems. They (all his doctors) don't seem to be concerned about his shoulder pain, and think he may have injured his rotator cuff when he tried to get back in to exercising too quickly. The shunt is working beautifully so far. And he has surgery scheduled for Feb. 15 to repair the hernia near his incision from the Whipple procedure. This is supposed to be a rather complicated repair so prayers are appreciated, and I promise to update more closer to that date.

In other news... Daddy got a new truck! He brought it by and let me take it for a spin today. :) And he has finally gotten his new computer up and running at a decent speed, so maybe I'll talk him into posting. However, don't get your hopes up because when I first asked him if it was ok that we do a blog to keep people updated, he said, "As long as you know what a blog is."
