Kathy's arterial line DID slide right in today on the first try. YAY! It seemed to go pretty well - the only hitch was after they x-rayed it, it had to be pulled back a little twice and redressed, which took a little extra time. BUT, while Kathy was waiting to hear that the x-ray looked good and she could go home, she got the news that John would be having his appendix out. He was with Paul at Portsmouth, and they were just waiting for final results.
I went home with Kathy to make sure she rested (and I think she isn't really resting enough.) Kevin got a ride to baseball - thanks Harry - and Ryan and Sam actually high fived each other when they heard that a THIRD brother would be "joining the club." Three boys with appendicitis in one year. That's crazy!
Ryan has lacrosse camp next week, so he'll be busy soon. I do think having the two younger ones out of the house for a few days would really help, if anyone can swing it. Then Kathy AND John can recoup and recover in peace and quiet!

Hey Kathy-
Just wanting you and Paul and family to know that you are all in our thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes sent out to the universe! You're a strong bunch...hang in there!

Hi, Kathy - Just a note to let you know that people at GBAC ask me how you're doing all the time. We crave your awsome work-outs (and I NEED your pilates!), but much more than that we all miss your sunny, cheerful burst of energy to start our Fridays!
Always, you are in my prayers and am sending positive vibes your way. Hope these treatments go quickly and healing plus a gorgeous head of hair is around the corner.
Love, Mary Bencks
Kathy and family ---
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Kathy, from what I'm reading you are a force to be reckoned with and sometimes we just need to remind ourselves that this is a CHAPTER in our lives...Breast Cancer is NOT our life story!!!!
My best to you.

Kathy & John& Family All,
I am having the Guiness Book of World records research how many apendectomies are on record for one year in one family. I think you may have set a new record. Hope you are both on the mend and relaxing during your recoveries. You are a Crazy Fun, strong family Bunch! Much more fun than Carol and Mike's Brady Bunch. :) Hope to see you soon, When is a good time to drop off a comfort/fun/junk food fun basket? Hang in there!
Love
The Messler Family
