My friend, Kim, has been WAITING for the surgeons to decide what to do with her. She is a puzzlement to them, as her scleroderma involves so many organs--her large intestine, stomach, esophogus, stomach, and possibly others. Last week the Seattle surgeons told her they couldn't get her in until January or so! That's just unbelievable. Today she got a call telling her one of the surgeons wants her to be in Seattle at 7 a.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, her main doctor there is trying to get something arranged for Spokane. She has family there, and her husband and kids could stay there while she's hospitalized. It is so complicated.
She has an appointment to file bankruptcy; She has received the first notices from the bank letting her know that foreclosure proceedings are underway. Throughout all of this, Kim's spirits are amazingly good. She's resigned to losing the house, and the family will stay there as long as possible, then find a rental.
On Saturday, my friends, Jean, Bernice, Lena, Karen, and I will fly out to Mexico for two weeks. We are visiting San Miguel de Allende, where Frank and I spent last November. While I am thrilled to be going back, I worry about Kim and her family. 
I'll be posting travel updates from Mexico on this blog.
I'll be posting travel updates from Mexico on this blog. Please continue to hold her in your prayers. She is so grateful for all who have helped. There is some money set aside to help with expenses in the weeks ahead, thanks to your generous hearts.
The picture is of her 6-year old son, Eathan, holding vegetables we picked in my nephew, Scott's, lovely garden a few weeks back. And the video (if it plays for you) shows him enjoying the trampoline with my granddaughter Abbie in her backyard. She gave him lessons. She enjoys having a "little brother."
