Battle Round Three
We had a good talk with our hematologist today. Trudie is feeling well enough that we want to proceed with the hip rebuild. This will probably happen next Wednesday (11/14). We will leave the Hospice on Monday morning and get re-admitted to St Josephs. She will probable have a pre-op procedure on Tuesday and then the main surgery on Wednesday. The orthopedic surgeon had previously said that it would probably be a six-plus hour surgery. Then would follow another rehab assignment at acute rehab. At the end of that, hopefully she will be walking again and be able to go home. That's the tentative plan.
And after that?
We have learned that we can only take the next step and wait until we are done with that step to see where we are. Then we will decide where we will go next.
Right now it looks like getting the hip fixed is the next right thing to do.

Wow! Incredible! Thanks for the great news! Miriam
Hey Patrick and Trudie,
I'm sorry that I haven't been able to write you a note sooner-- my computer has been acting up and the one at school doesn't allow me to leave comments! I want you to know that I love you both very much and I have a host of people praying with and for you right now. Hugs and kisses,
Love,
Evangeline
