What a beautiful day!!

Hello from sunny Saskatoon! This has become the "Friday Report" as most of the appointments happen at the end of the week. Again, the bandage is working amazingly well. We see the plastic surgeon on Tues. am to decide how much longer Stan will need it and to discuss if further surgery will be necessary to free up tightened muscles under Stan's arm. We also see a second specialist on Tues. afternoon to do a nerve assessment along his arm to see what shape the nerves are in. The kidneys are still improving and are at about 47% now. Remember from previous conversation that less than 10% required dialysis. We are still waiting news of when they will remove the permcath from Stan's
chest. We are still captive to appointments whenever we get calls and are grateful to be in the system already which seems to open doors to getting to see the specialists as needed and allow continuing physical therapy. The weather has really been beautiful the last few days and the walks in the fall colors has really lifted our spirits. Stan is back in the drivers seat! and has been doing a lot of the driving around the city this week. Monica has had time to spend with us as she waits for baby's arrival. We are all doing well, and share impatience for different reasons!
God bless. Love, Stan and Maxine :-)

Hi Stan and Maxine: So good to read your message just now. Our prayers continue to be answered. We are anxiously awaiting the news of Monica's and Roy's baby. Today is misty here. Would have been an nice morning to curl up infront of the fire place with a good book. I had other plans
Everyone is fine here.
We think about you and pray for you guys all the time
