I got good news about BigMack!!!
Yesterday in my desperation for some news, I happened to think about the lady at the Bixby Bulletin who interviewed us when we were all out there visiting Becky, and since her office was right next to Becky’s daughter Jenny’s shop I thought she might know something. So I dug back through the thread and found the link to the article, which also had a “contact us” link to the lady who did the article. So I e-mailed her, explaining who I was and why I was writing, and told her that any information she could give me would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people.
I didn’t know if whe would respond or not, but when I got in to the office this morning I had a reply from her. I won’t post her whole reply here, but she basically said that the surgery went well and that he was actually able to eat yesterday. He had a liquid diet at first but was supposed to get to have some mashed potatoes by the afternoon and was apparently feeling enough to tell Jenny that when he gets well he was going to eat all he wanted. She said that Becky had been at the hospital most of the time, leaving only to take showers and naps once in a while, and that she looked tired, but cheerful. So that’s good to hear too. I know this has really been hard on her.
So anyways, I just thought I’d share that with y’all. I know that it took a massive load off of MY mind. I wrote the lady back and thanked her profusely and told her that she had just made a whole lot of people very happy. I know that Becky’s had her hands full and her mind on more important things than fooling with us, so I was just glad that we had other resources to turn to for information.
:’)
Pinging 2J to some good news...
Good news! I am so glad to hear that.
What wonderful news :) I’ll continue to pray until he’s home and well but this is a great way to start the day.
Becky, we’re all praying and thinking of you and Mack.
Thanks for the info, Frog. It was very good to hear that the surgery went well.
