Good Evening Loved Ones,
We had our first snow of the season yesterday and last night. About 2 inches this morning! It is just so awesome to see the ground white and the beautiful Ponderosa Pine tress with branches covered with snow!! I feel it's a beautiful gift of God's to cheer my heart and give it a lift!
Things are happening so fast this week. We close the resort this Sunday (Oct. 15). Then the day I've been longing for is just a week away (17th) for my surgery to take the expanders out (and hopefully the pain) and put the implants in. This added month of waiting for the surgery seemed to last forever!! I just give God the praise and glory that I have not had ANY residual effects from my "spell" Sept. 14th! Only a miracle....is all I can say! God's mercies to me are awesome!! I just feel overwhelmed with the MANY miracles He has granted me in my life. I'm so blessed!!
When I saw Dr. Kaplan Sept. 29 (neurologist) she recommended I still find a pain doctor. She is also a "pain doctor."....but said she only deals in head pain....mines a little lower down :}:}. So I called the pain doctor that Dr. Baker recommended. When I talked to them, they said I should have Dr. Baker(plastic) schedule the person who will be my anesthesilogist the 17th to also be someone who is specialized chronic pain!! I had no idea that many anesthesiologist are also pain doctors!! So.......Thur. 12th at 3:15 Teresa (daughter) and I have an appointment with Dr. Smith (just love all these simple names for Drs.....(Baker, Young, Smith):}:} I'll feel so much better meeting him more than the normal 5 minutes before they take you to operating room and put you to sleep....expecially since the event on the 14th last month!! Plus....knowing there will be someone just incase I need a little more help after the surgery with the pain. I'm just amazed how God works out these little details!!
You have all been so incredible to pray for all of us. Here's some requests when you are talking to God.
1. Ask God to shower a ton of blessings ON EACH OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES!! Such awesome prayer warriors you are!
2. Please pray for travel blessings for Teresa, our daughter from Tx. She flys in tomorrow for 10 days. I know it's a real sacrifice for her husband and boys to have her gone again so long....but so awesome for us! Thanks guys!!
3. Please pray for travel blessings for our daughter Michele who flys to North Carolina for her job tomorrow and will be gone for 3 days.....and for hubby and daughters while she is gone.
4. Please pray for wisdome for Dr. Smith... the pain doctor to know what to do with me Thursday!! The pain continues to be hard each day.... I can almost see a light at the end of the tunnel with the upcoming surgery! Can't wait for the sunshine!!
5. Please pray for the love of my life, Lloyd......for extra strength to finish this hetic week and that God will show us both what He is preparing us for thru this journey.
6. That I remain healthy and this scratchy throat doesn't get worse.
You all are awesome....we are blessed that God has put you in our lives!! Watch for those everyday blessings He's sending you way!!
Loving Him and each of you,
Donna
Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!!

Glad to hear things are going much better for you Donna. As you have probably heard we lost our grand daughter Peggy Ann Sept. 16th. She put up quite a fight but we all know she is free of pain and God wanted her in heaven. We were blessed to have had her for 20 years and now she is one of God's angels. I wish you healing all through the winter.
