Some Good News

We finally met with the surgeon, Dr. Parsons and have set a date to reverse Tom's colostomy.  This is good news, as Tom would really like to feel normal again.  The tumor on his sacrum has been zapped with SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) and appears dormant at this time. He has gained about twenty-five pounds from his lowest weight and feels well. The surgery is set for February 17th. No heavy lifting for six weeks afterwards, so Tom is splitting kindling for us now because that is one thing that I can't (refuse to ) do. I excell at getting the axe stuck in the wood. Last week we went to Lock Lolly, a local tree farm and came home with a cute little tree. We are looking forward to Christmas Eve with the kids and seeing friends and family over the holidays.

Our Little Guy tree.

Took this photo of "our" deer through the living room window.

We got snowed in for a few days but had
plenty of food, coffee, and books.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year!
