    Hi everyone,
    Brandy has been taken into surgery now. I appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.

    I do need to take a moment and thank a very good friend Ron (Edrin55) who stepped in and watched my kids since last night until my in-laws came by. You rock!

    I can never have too many people praying. I'll keep you all updated.
    Albert

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the prayer.

    Yes, much needed.

    :thumbsup: I felt like I was right there with you in this prayer. Thanks man.

    Thank you very much.

    Hopefully not too soon. :D Just Kidding. I was thinking of doing some mods in the garage while she naps. Haha. In all seriousness, thank you for the prayers brother.

    Thank you. It's a comforting feeling knowing that people haven taken the time to pray for us, especially for the love of my life (The wife). Common its TW, we need clarification.

    Thank you.

    Jeremie, Thank you Sir for your prayers. Much appreciated.

    You know you already have a place in my heart as someone that could lend an ear without judgement. It's God's judgement that I fear. Although we are forgiven and continuously fall short, it's very frustrating to fight the good fight when I fail so many times. Thank you for the prayers my friend, my brother. I will continue to be strong as its not a matter of choice. This moment in my life reminds me of how much my wife does and sacrifices to make things easier for me. God bless her.

    Thank you.

    The difficulty is in all this are the thoughts of outcomes you don't want. The thoughts of losing someone due to a simple error. I know from what I was told that this was a routine surgery, but that idea of being left alone or the feeling of not being able to do anything on my end... the feeling of helplessness... well would make anyone think of things. Mind games take such an emotional toll. Thank you for the prayers.

    Thoughts received and accepted my friend. Thank you very much.

    Thank you. Although she didn't get to leave that same night, she looked a lot better after she came out. She had a look of discomfort instead of severe pain. Time to pamper her some for a while.

    Very true. Sometimes though I wish I could see his bigger plan instead of just a snippet. Thank you for the kind words.

    For sure family first. The financial part though can take its toll on the family. Oddly enough they go hand-in-hand. Thank you for the prayers my brother. Much appreciated. You should have seen my look when the tech said she had 12 stones. :eek: Thank you again.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the words of encouragement and the prayers.

    Thank you.

    They did. Update at the bottom. Thank you for the prayers.

    Thank you. God bless you to for the prayers sent to us. I do appreciate it.

    Thank you.

    He has. Thank you for the prayers.

    PkTaco, thank you. I felt the prayers of comfort on both of us. I know He has been watching over us. I thank people like yourself to pray for us.

    Thank you.

    Thanks brother. Much thanks for it.

    Thanks Colton for the prayers. I'm posting an update on the bottom.

    She will. Thank you for the concern. Thoughts and prayers mean a lot especially from random people (even though its TW). Thanks again.

    He has. Thank you.

    Thank you for the prayers.

    Thanks. I don't even think Ron knows I said this about him.

    I agree. I can't argue with that.

    I know. I don't think any of the other San Diego guys know what happened. I'm just thankful this didn't happen up there. That would have been much worse. Thank you for the prayers Doug.

    Thank you sir. Much appreciated brother.

    Yes. That's for sure. Thank you for the prayers.

    Thank you.


    TW, she is out and at home now. As a matter of fact, she is right behind me snoring. :D Don't tell her I said that. So she did have her gallbladder removed. We had to spend the night and was given the go-ahead by the afternoon yesterday. In Mon night and out Wed afternoon. This was the adventure. I was still floored when the doctor said she had about 12 gallstones in her. Apparently she has had some for at least 4 years now but never experienced enough discomfort to think anything other than an upset stomach.
    Well, I appreciate the thoughts and prayers you all sent my way. I knew going into this that it would have been a simple procedure, but it's the waiting and not being able to lift a finger that makes it difficult to see her in severe pain. Thank you all again. Take care, God bless and remain safe in whatever you do.

    Albert

    Thanks for the update brother. Good to hear good news. As you pamper her, don't forget to drink plenty of water and take care of yourself too.
