If that doesn t work I will have to have more surgery. We have planned our vacation for May to go to western Canada for a family reunion and hope to see as many of our supporters as possible. It is hard to live so far from Edna s family and not be able to visit them more often. My family all live about 10 hours from here and when we have a long weekend we can travel up for a quick visit. Both our mothers are getting along fairly well.
Work continues on as usual.
Our staffing needs remain a matter of prayer. The Lodge has hired some help to relieve some of their shortage. While volunteer help has aided our nurses, our head nurse retires in November and another nurse retires a few months later. Please continue to pray with us about these needs. No direct word has been heard from or about them during that time - but lots of rumors of sightings.
