Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.

Again, I apologize for not replying earlier. We’ve had good news, but it was kind of a difficult holiday. Frank & I, Martha, my husband, children & Grandchildren all hoped that my brother would be home by now, but we did pretty well, anyway & he had MANY visitors this past weekend. In fact, I asked the nurse to tell us if we were wearing him out.

The good news: the doctors have agreed to reverse Frank’s colostomy soon. We found that out on Christmas Eve…what a Christmas present. Frank, Martha & I all sat in the doctor’s office at KU. Med. Two doctors talked with us. They explained that because of the original fistula that caused the terrible infection AND the opening made by the surgeons, It will be a serious affair, but they were optimistic about Frank’s chances of survival & recovery. So, the decision was his & he’s going for it.
If all goes well, the surgeon’s think that he will be home by Easter.

Do you remember that I said that I was giving him Missouri University houseshoes for Christmas? He just called & told me that he wore them for last night’s game. Mizzou LOST! :sad_yes:

I appreciate you all more than words can say. Just know that I TRULY believe that your prayers & my own (&, of course, the intercession of St. Jude) saved my Brother’s life. I can never thank you enough. I’m hoping to celebrate Easter Mass with him.

Thank you God for all the wonderful blessings,
For our daily meals, for clean drinking water,
For sunlight and for the cool breeze.
I’m thankful for my family, my husband, my friends, and my health.
I’m thankful for my friends, to love and be loved and for freedom.
I’m thankful to be retired;
I’m thankful to be alive and praise you for all these wonders.
I’m thankful that you have been so gracious to
answer that myriad of prayers offered for my Brother.
I am especially grateful for my CAF friends who have
sustained Frank & I through this long journey through
grave illness.
My thanks for listening to St. Jude as he prayed
with us.
Stay with us, Lord, for it’s not completely over yet.
Give Frank both the mental & physical strength to
make it through this last surgery.
