- Dad’s surgery appears to have gone well. It started late, but that is to be expected in a large hospital, I guess. (Apparently the dr who was doing the second part of the surgery – reconnection of the esophagus and stomach – had been called to do a transplant at 3:30 in the morning and didn’t want to walk out of that surgery and straight into my dad’s. Reasonable and appreciated.) It appears that the cancer has not spread and that the surgery was a success. I talked to him on Saturday and he was tired but more upbeat than he has been since the cancer was discovered.
- My blood pressure was back to normal at my last appt. It has been in the normal range each time I have taken it at home also.
- Jason and his sister did some Christmas shopping over the weekend and we are now almost done. YEAH for combined gifts. He also purchased some additional gifts for Dylan from Santa – so much for toning it down this year. Oh well, I know he will love them and I think Jason enjoyed picking stuff out.
- I am starting to get excited about Christmas. We are doing Christmas dinner at our house this year. Usually we do a brunch with light finger food type stuff, but this year we are doing a full meal. However, no turkey. Honey Baked Ham, baby!!
Thank everyone for their prayers and positive thoughts. It means so much to me to know that there are so many good people out there who care.

I'm so glad that your dad's surgery went well and the prognosis is good. Also good news about the BP--I would expect it was just a blip due to stress.
Cori does that about Christmas shopping, too. I hate it when we go totally overboard, but I love that he has such fun picking out things for them. This year he's all about getting *boy* toys for Davis (because apparently the boxes of trains, blocks and legos we have from Bronte aren't nearly enough for our manly little man).
