Thankful Tuesday

Today is Tuesday and I am going to write about some "Thankfuls" going on around my life:

I am thankful...that my sister in law's surgery went well yesterday and she is recovering.  The healing process is going to be long but the worse is over.  She was diagnosed with Uterine cancer but the surgery took care of everything and she should be good to go once she is healed.

I am thankful...that my grandfather has come through another hurdle battling throat cancer.  Last week he had surgery to remove his voice box so that he can eat again.  He has been "eating" prescription shakes from an IV for the last...oh I don't know really...a long time so hopefully once he is healed and back up and running, that he will enjoy a nice roast beef dinner.  He was given the choice to eat or talk again and he chose eat because he has said what he has needed to say in his life...so from now on, my papa will be writing to us!

I am thankful...that our little buddy Tyler made it to Toronto safe and sound yesterday with his family.  That is going to be his new "home" for the next 3 months or so while he undergoes a bone marrow transplant for a rare case of leukemia he has.  We hope for a speedy recovery and that he will be home on time for Christmas...FIGHT TYLER FIGHT (maybe with SOME luck, the guys will actually get a deer this hunting season so they can send a picture to show Ty seeing how he will miss the hunt this year).

I am thankful...that all those puppies have been saved!  In case you haven't heard it on the news: here is one of the many stories regarding this horrible situation.  We live close to this place, I went to school with this family and it doesn't surprise me...I am glad that they were caught and it's over!

I am thankful...for everyone and everything around me!!
