A Thanksgiving to remember

All went well in the doctor's office this week. Not going to have to have surgery! All the doctor's seem to think when he does come off the immune suppression meds in January, this will go away in time. We were supposed to go to a surprise party for David Hill,"Happy Birthday David!!" last night but he just wasn't up to it. We spent 6 hours waiting to see two doctors and were exhausted. He came home and got his feet up so the swelling would go down, they were SO swollen! He has gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks! He weighs the most I have ever seen since I have known him. We all will celebrate Thanksgiving this week and we have SO much to be thankful for!!! This last year has been a hard one but one that I am so grateful to God and to all of you for being with us through it all! Everything matters so much more now to the four of us! HE has opened our eyes! Rick is feeling so much better! I talked with him on Thursday night and he said every day was getting better and better! We will not be going to our family reunion this year, to all of the family we are sorry! Due to Terry, Rick's surgery and trying to get Ruth to Karen's is going to be enough on all of us!We will miss you! My Dad is having back surgery this Tuesday also! So much going on! I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving and don't eat too much, save some room for Christmas goodies! Love to all of you! Alyce
