I just realized that I had not informed you all of our next escapade! Sorry about that...
Lots of news out of Portland this time. Joey had his appt with Dr. Rutstein on Tues for his gallbladder situation. She took one look at him and said "...that's gotta come out!" Joey thought the next day would suit him just fine, but she had other plans. Friday...yes, this Friday, as in tomorrow!! So, here is the schedule: My consult at Cancer Care of Maine at 10:30 am for me, then straight to Portland from there. He is scheduled for surgery at 3, but that means nothing on a Friday afternoon. It could be 3, but more likely 5 or 6. Maybe even 10. Who knows. We just know it is coming out and it is a good thing!! The boys are going to hold down the fort here with promises of a clean house when we get back. Wonder what that means?????
Anyway, I will post with the outcome of my appt and Joey's recovery stories on Sat. so until then, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...
PS...Forgot to tell you that my first expansion when really well. Didn't even know they did anything! Probably 4 or 5 visits will do for me. Only time will tell!

  1. Joey, DON'T GET DISCOURAGED, I bet getting rid of a non-working gall bladder will help you to start feeling better. We'll all being praying and thinking of you. Anything that you, Kerri or the boys need just let us know. It's up and down and hopefully after this will be the up part... We love you all, Renee

    So glad you're expanding nicely! And glad to hear Joey's losing an organ :) I "lost" mine a few years ago and felt soooo much better afterward--I'm sure he will too!

    Still thinking of you!
