Medical Adventures









Hello everyone,


It's been a crazy weekend and I feel beat, but wanted to get a short blog done before calling it a night.


Duane's hobbling around on a broken toe, which he acquired yesterday while being goofy with Dallas! I took him to urgent care, they x-rayed it and it's going to need the attention of a podiatrist, which he will try to contact tomorrow for an appointment. His toe connected to the kitchen wall while trying to 'fake kick' at Dallas. Ouch!


Our other adventure coming up is a trip to Tucson to University Medical Center for Duane's open heart surgery to replace a leaky aortic valve. He's been fatigued, no energy, shortness of breath, dizzy at times, all part of the symptoms of a faulty valve. We look forward to him feeling better when it's all over and done. This surgery will be September 7th and there's a 4-day hospital stay. I'll take the week off - keep us in your prayers.

Meanwhile, our teens continue to study in school and stay active with the youth in the ward.


I face 32 fourth grade students each day which leaves me tired at the end of the day! They're pretty good, though, and I'm enjoying them.



Have a great week!

You will definitely be in our prayers next week! 32 is another big class - but you are such a great teacher! Hugs to everyone!
