Updates:
Mom - she's doing a LOT better. Yesterday was her first day since surgery (on July 6) that she has not had throbbing pain, though the swelling is still atrocious. She sees one doctor about other issues this week, and when I asked her when she was going to the cardiologist (she's been having problems there but was waiting until after recouping from this surgery to have yet another appt) she said "I'm waiting." Not sure what we're waiting on this time.
Jamie - my brother-in-law is doing great since having his heart attack and stint placement. He's back at work, and life is normal.
Andy- my brother has yet to see a cardiologist, though his symptoms have somewhat subsided. He was supposed to make an appointment with a different doctor in hopes of getting someone "with manners" as my sister-in-law says.
Ellen - my niece is having a really hard time adjusting to her new school and her sis being at college, though I think she loves the church. I remember the loneliness all too well, and my heart goes out to her. Praying God sends a Christian friend her way, or at least somone she can talk with between classes, soon!
Rachel - the first of three surgeries begin tomorrow. In having to change hospitals to get all the doctors she needed, things have changed. Her cancer has been upgraded to a stage 3, and her treatment plan will now extend till next summer, as opposed to this Christmas. I think the whole family's heart dropped at this diagnosis, as it brought back many painful memories of her Mom Charlotte and her paternal grandmother (my aunt) Ovelene. My heart is going out to Tim, her husband, and Mercy (10) and John. Mercy was just 3 when Aunt Ovelene died, and more than once she said Mercy's antics were the best medicine a grandma could take.
Elections- I got the Garner post for early voting! I loved the Raleigh site where I worked the first time. It was an excellent crew, but I really wanted to be a little closer to home, both for gas and time sake. I had heard sites close to Garner were always heavily requested and hard to get, but figured I had nothing to lose by requesting it. I was shocked when I got the e-mail this weekend! Training starts in about two weeks, though I haven't received a date for when early voting starts. But I do know it's quickly coming! By the end I'll be tired and ready for it all to be over, but I enjoy the job, and it's nice to have something that is just for a short period of time.
And that's an overview of external events happening in my life. I'm so thankful we have a God with ears who hear, even if His answer isn't always what we want to hear! That is such a blessing!
