From:	CSC32::JOHNS 
Subj:	Update on surgery

Hi folks.  I just wanted to update you all.

As most of you know, I have been out of work for the last week and a half
after undergoing emergency gall bladder surgery.  I should be back at work
around the 15th or 19th, I think, but I won't know for sure until I see the 
doctor again tomorrow (Thursday).  I am feeling much better, but still cannot
pick up more than 10 pounds (at least, not often) and Evan is over 15 pounds 
now.  :-}

The good news is that the doctor thinks that ALL of my problems/illnesses
since Evan was born may have been due the the gall stones, since women with
high levels of estrogen often have these problems and pregnancy increases the
estrogen level.  Soooo, since I no longer have a gall bladder, I should start
feeling better soon.  

Thanks for your concern.

I appears that gall bladder surgery is in "vogue" in Colorado.  I have
spoken with Suzanne a few times since her surgery and she is doing much
better.  I will be back at work on Monday, the 19th.  Thank you all for
your support.

    Tanya Austin (Jackson) who has written occasionally in this file
    and who is a dear friend of mine lost her baby girl to a still birth
    Monday morning. I'd like to ask for prayers or what ever each of
    you feels appropriate to your beliefs for her and her husband Eric
    and little Erica whose time on earth was so very very short.

150.5A poem offered to comfortCOOKIE::WILCOXWhat is a Jellico cat?Thu Oct 13 1988 15:4426
I posted this in the parenting notes file and will do so here in the
hope that it will provide comfort for anyone who needs it.  It was
written by Helen Steiner Rice and was chosen by my mom to appear on
the back of the program at my grandad's memorial service a few years
ago:



		We give our loved ones
		back to God.
		And just as He first gave 
		them to us
		and did not lose them 
		in the giving,
		so we have not lost them
		in returning them to Him...
		for life is eternal,
		love is immortal,
		death is only a horizon...
		and a horizon is nothing
		but the limit 
		of our earthly sight.

My heart goes out to her.

    I received this in the mail today, apparently it is the second call

    but the need is still there.

                   FOR CAMILLE CRETE'S 13 YEAR OLD SON BRIAN


Arrangements have been made for the people from the Shriners Burn Institute
to come to Maynard for another blood drive for Brian Crete.  Their mobile
donor unit will be set up for us on January 4th, 5th, and 6th.  On the 4th and
5th, blood donations may be made from 9 A.M. - 3 P.M.  On the 6th, it will be
held from 8:30 A.M. - 2:30 P.M. The blood mobile will be set up in the Lower

Brian is still in critical condition, and he is still fighting for his life. 
He is currently undergoing operations about every other day.  He is a tough
13-year-old, with a strong will to live.  Please forward this message to anyone
you feel would like to help.
