Mike was rushed back to the hospital on December 18th for emergency surgery to close up a few leaks from his previous surgery. We were there for over a week and Mike had a number of blood transfusions. We came back home on Wednesday the 27th. He is very skinny and weak from so much surgery and internal change. He has lost over 30 pounds now, but he is slowly adjusting to his new version of a stomach. His greatest problem is fear of eating, because it too often leads to pain. But we will survive this and move right on to a brand new year…

Wishing you & yours lots of JOY in 2024!
