I t/w Pat Williams Weatherwax late last night.  She has spent (and will continue to spend) a lot of time at the hospital.  They are in the process of making arrangements to move Christie to the Baylor Rehab Center by end of week.  She assured me that Christie's kids will let us know just as soon as Christie's doctors feel it's OK for her to have visitors & when Christie wants to have visitors!  The surgery this morning is considered relatively simply to put in a permanent drain.

Keep in mind folks - - This was "Brain Surgery" & not like removing an appendix!  Any time you operate on the brain it interrupts the circuitry & you have to retrain it to get back in sync.  Pat said she is doing remarkably well & Drs are encouraged.  Part of her therapy is to read & comprehend the text.  Her kids print all the comments we are putting on her Blog & she loves it!  So keep posting!! I'll put the Blog link below.  If you haven't already sent a card to Baylor you may want to wait until she is relocated or send them to her home!  Once she's situated in Rehab & has an address we can pour on the cards & letters!!  Bill will bring her anything received at their home. 

So guys & gals -- Keep sending up our prayers for her full recovery, posts notes on her Blog and send cards to her home & then to the Rehab when she gets there later this week.

Please check the Blog daily for updates!!  The family continues to request us not to call their home!!

Happy Birthday, Eileen,  hope it was a good one.  Have little sister post and let us know how you are doing.

Memo to JS: The Oscar nomination was a well-kept secret til now.  Actually, Hannibal has such an 'unusual' appetite that even Cajuns don't try to copy his recipes - they're not much into human sushi, I guess.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND EILEEN, HOPE IT'S A HAPPY ONE AND MANY, MANY MORE.  LOVE YA   DEB

Happy Birthday Eileen . . .  in case you're lurking on the GB!!!  It was a beautiful day today, hope your Birthday was too!!

Let’s send out H a p p y  B i r t h d a y !!! wishes to Eileen Sandifer today!  Guess you’re out cutting up, as usual.  Hope you’re doing well and that we’ll see you 6-7-8 at the mini!

Sandy Joe; did you take any history courses? Were you awake in any part of any of them?? I don't think you want a RED coat. Ever hear the phrase "The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming"? The English wore red. The Americans wore blue or buckskin or civies. You may get yourself kicked out of this group before you get sworn in.

Sandy Joe, If you want a red coat and musket, you need to come up here and visit me.  Lots of American history up here. 

Toni, Sandra McM, Happy Jack, I know they meet once a month, there was a blood pressure machine at the door, and the avg. age was 70. I guess the D.A.R. cooks the meal for the S.A.R., lots of soft, chewy food, with 2% milk. I can't wait to get my Red coat and musket.
