Tom's surgery is tomorrow, Feb. 4th

What a week last week! Both Julie & I lost power at our homes. We even packed up both families and went to the shop and tried to sleep on the floor. Not our brightest idea but we did stay warm. With my husband working 14 hour days and my car stuck in the ice we have been closed last week.

On to this week.... after we got power back we noticed Tom had started to turn yellow. Possibly the mass is pressing on the bile duct and causing the jaundice. We had to take him to the doctor Monday. Today we had him admitted to the hospital. His weight is now 134.5. He has lost almost 70 lbs. in the last six months.

Dr. Miliken will be doing surgery at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow. It will probably be a 4 hour surgery.

PLEASE everyone say a prayer for him and our family.

We hope to get things back to normal at the shop shortly. Thanks so much for every ones kind words, cards, and well wishes. You all have become part of our extended family.

I will post about Tom after the surgery as soon as I can.
