Frank will be having surgery on the 11th. He will be having a porta cath putin at Hermann Hospital in Houston. Also everyone pray I get over my ear infection soon, I am ready to kill. Frank's sister, Kathlynn, turns 9 on Sat and we are planning on a trip to Six Flags Astroworld/Waterworld if everyone is well. Frank will be staying home with daddy because it is way to hot to have him out all day. It was 106 degrees today.

I'm sending prayers and well wishes both yours and Frank's way. Seems Frank has had a tough time of it lately. I hope his surgery helps keep him healthy. Good luck and have fun at Six Flags.

I'll be praying that tthe surgery goes well, the ears feel better and the birthday is loads of fun. You have had quite a year it seems, and could probably use a break! Try to take care of yourself inthe midst of all this. Deb

All our best wishes to Frank and his family. Hopefully the surgery will make those IV antibiotic treatments easier (I'm assuming a porta-cath is like a central line?).
Misty, I wouldn't want to be in your profession at any time, especially with an ear infection...take care of yourself too!

I hope all goes well with the surgery and your ear infection gets better.

Misty, I will be praying that everything goes smoothly with Frank's surgery. Please update us.
I know what you mean about this heat. We haven't been able to do much with Jacob the past few weeks. Between the rain and the extreme heat, it just doesn't make for nice outings.
Anyways, I hope you are feeling better soon!
Take care, Amanda

Misty I do hope that Frank's surgery goes well. I'm sorry you've had an ear infection - that is definitely no fun at all, and can be terribly painful. I hope that all of you ARE WELL for your trip and can have a great time.
