Update October, 22

I am so happy to report a day of solutions rather than problems. The insurance company has approved us to see the doctor tomorrow. We will be home, probably by 6:30. We now have an appointment to see the doctor at Scott and White on Tuesday. We will go to Temple and spend the night, then probably drive home Tuesday afternoon. We will then have a choice, and that feels much better to both of us.

Our wonderful neighbors, the McCartney's brought some tasty homemade soup and bread tonight. It is awesome, thank you Susan. Our dear friend and Allison's mother, Kaye will come by the house tomorrow to let the dogs out a couple of times during the day. Thank you, Kaye.

We got a call that Harriett, John's daughter-in-law came through her surgery today without a hitch so, that was great news.

Now, all we have to do is figure out the dogs when we go to S & W and then we will make a decision where to go for the surgery. Bill Williams is THRILLED that we were approved to go to Scott and White. I looked at their website and read about their esophageal cancer program and I can see why Bill has steered us that way.

Thank you all for your love and care. We'll let you know how it goes in Dallas.
