Anita,

I am so sorry to hear this. Wow, surgery #13. What are they going to do to repair his jaw?

My problems have been minor compared to what Clark has gone through, but I can certainly understand how he feels. It seems I take one step forward and solve one issue and they have another one crop up. It really is a drag isn't it?

You are at an excellent hospital with a great doctor, so I'm sure Clark will be fine. Clark is lucky to have you in his corner as I know you will take great care of him.

Is he up to doing something special this weekend? Even if it is just a walk in the park, or a ride through the countryside. And don't forget to take time for yourself!

You both are in my thoughts and prayers. Please update when you have a chance after the surgery.
