Wow! What a way to start off our month. Tonight Tyler and Celeste from the Beckstrand Foundation came to our home and gave our family an early Christmas Celebration! They surprised the boys with gifts and they gave our family a very special gift.
They named a star after Gary (the Gary Sallee star is in the Perseus constellation) and told us that Gary will always be in the sky looking after our family. It was so incredibly touching and awesome. Our kids are so blessed! WOW.
Gary is still feeling badly but we met with Dr. Barth today and we are getting the ball rolling with some things that need to be done to try to help Gary with not only the pain but with damning the flood that has created "Lake Sallee". I must say that today we have not had a flood for some reason. Everything has been draining the way God intended it to drain. So, go figure. At least I will get some sleep and hopefully it will not flood again until we get the nephrostomy tubes in place.
Gary will finish the last radiation tomorrow and we will check into South Coast Hospital on Wednesday morning at 7 AM for the nephrostomy tube placement. It is out patient and we should be home around 4 PM Wednesday.
Dr. Barth would also like to place a morphine epidural in Gary's spine in an attempt to help control the immense pain radiating from that darn left leg. Cross your fingers and hope it works!
We are sitting here talking about tonight and taking it all in. A star is in the night sky that symbolizes Gary and that is such an amazing thing. This is going to be one special Christmas!
I am really glad we are in a good mood tonight. It feels good to smile and be peaceful!
Off to slumber.
Love To You All,
L

a star... what a touching and appropriate gift. Praying daily for you sweet lady.
Lisa, you will never know what a blessing you are and have been to me. I get up in the morning and when I read your blog, I am forever touched by your strength and your incredible faith. What a remarkable wife and mother you are. Most of us go through life complaining about our aches and pains....and we are never touched by real trials such as the ones you bear. I know our Lord has a special place for your dear Gary at his right hand. He too is incredible and has shows such strength and determination with what he has and is facing. I am not sure how folks who do not know our Lord and Savior get through real trials such as these. I know that when things get too much to bear, God will be there for you to carry you through, much like in the FOOTPRINTS poem. Once again, you are and continue to be amazing and such a blessing to our family, especially to me. Our love and prayers are with you and your dear family.
