YES; WE ARE STILL IN TEXAS

Greeting from the Texas deepfreezer:

We realize that most of our blog readers are getting this northern weather worst then we are, and we are praying for them. We are already below freezing here near Houston, and expected to stay around freezing for over 36 straight hours...

Any way just a short note to let you know that we saw Judy's Specialist yesterday at the Baylor Medical Center for the consultation, He felt that the extra procedure is still necessary, 1) to see where or what caused the initial bile duct blockage. 2) to remove the original stint and possibly replace it if necessary. 3) To see if there was any damage done to either the pancreas or liver and make a positive determination of NO Cancer.

The Dr. was very through with his questions and allowed us adequate time to ask anything we needed to know..We were impressed.

This procedure is scheduled for Friday Jan 8,2010 at 9 a.m.; should take about 11/2 hours to perform and then a 2 hour recovery and if it goes well back to Livingston by 1 p.m.

We will have to go back to the Dr office sometime next week for a follow-up visit, and then we hope to head to MUCH warmer Arizona at least by the end of the week.

Thanks again for all that you all do for us as we have this opportunity to represent Christ to the RVing community and those who are disadvantage served by the agencies partners of NOMADS.

Gods Blessing and warmth
and Hugs from the Longs:on the road for Christ: Judy and John
