The operation went fine, although very little of her big toe was able to be saved. What I've been concerned about the most, however, is the actual recovery process. My Grandmother pretty much caused her own death because she wouldn't stay off her feet when she had a toeNAIL removed. But Drew's mostly listening and staying off her foot like she's supposed to be, so hopefully she'll be fine with time.

Dad is speaking and mostly coherent now. He keeps asking to come home. I wish I could let him -- we all most certainly want him home --, but they're able to help him far better than we can. He still can't even sit up without assistance, but he is getting stronger.

In the mean time, we've lost two of our youngest kittens and our baby Donnie, who took a nasty fall and couldn't recover.

Your continued prayers and well wishes are dearly appreciated. <3

Gotta leave here shortly and have my beloved at the VA nurse's station by 6:15am Central time. Don't know what time the actual operation will be.

Dad is doing some better, but he spent several harrowing days in the hospital and his mind just started to return this past Monday. He's still incredibly weak and has a long way to go. He's in the nursing home now, but we still have hope that he may eventually be able to come home if his body continues repairing itself. It wasn't a stroke or anything like that. It turned out to be a severe kidney infection that had gotten into his blood stream; coupled with his dementia and beginning Alzehemier's is what caused the brain problems that gave him the symptoms of a stroke/heart attack/etc.

We have also lost two of our babies during all of this, our little Donatello and one of our newest who I haven't had time to intro here.

Clearly, we've still got a lot to go through with Drew and her operation today and with Dad's recovery, so please continue to keep us in your prayers. But hopefully I'll be back online in some form soon.

Hugs to all!
