Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have not been here for awhile. A lot has been going on but I will update everyone on that later.

Right now I am asking for prayers for my sister Bonnie's long time fiance Theron. He has an anuerysm near his kidneys and the surgery which is 7:30 Thursday morning, will be quite dangerous. I am asking for prayers for him and strength for my sister. The stress has been overwhelming on both of them.

I hope to get back here to post and update everyone soon. You have always been so supportive in the past.

I also wanted to update everyone on Bradley. I talked to his mom a couple days ago. He is doing quite well but still needs to be very careful of infection, etc. He is going to school part time and even has his own little art gallery near their home, where his paintings are for sale. His sister and mom run it nights and on Saturday. I have not been there yet, but hope to check it out soon.

Thank you in advance for any and all prayers for Theron's surgery and his long recovery afterwards.

That sounds pretty scary Cat, thoughts and prayers heading to you and your family. I hope things go well for Theron.

I've asked God to guide the hands of the surgeon, and requested a successful outcome.

Glad to learn about Bradley.

I've noticed your absence.

Shawn and Clara,

Thank you so much for the prayers and kind words. Theron came through the 5 hour procedure very well. The anuerisym was the largest they had seen at 7 centimeters (largest before was 5 1/2 centimeters). the 7 centimeters is about the size of my index finger.

Thank you again for all the kinds words and prayers. God answered all the prayers from everyone and Theron is doing better than expected.

They were very glad that he made it in for surgery, when he did.

VERY IMPORTANT INFO....if anyone sees a large bulging vein in the leg or

, please get it checked. Only about 20% of people survive a burst aneurisym and most are only found when checking for something else.

I am glad everything is going well for him. Way too often we skate through life without thinking about how short we are really here. This is another reminder that we need to stop and smell the roses.
