Well as Anita just described it , this day turned out to be a "trial run" for them as far as the kidney surgery was concerned. The cadavre kidney was not in good enough shape that Eric's surgeon would agree to use it for Eric. They are home for the night, but really at peace that God has it all scheduled out just right. "NEXT TIME" she told me, they'll really be ready for the event and not just run out the door. I am sure taht would be about my first thought too, but we did agree that fmaily prayer should preceed actually running out any door!
And I have to tell you all, the Pecan Pie cake recipe is long and looks very complicated, but its not . AND I'm so used to it it doesn't look long to me any more.
I hope some of you will give it a try. If that's just too much, one of my other favs is to cook a bag of extra wide egg noodles, in a seaprate pan, heat up 2 or 3 cans of Cream of Chicken soup, DO NOT DILUTE, pour over the noodles. NOT healthy, probably not very nutritious, but fast ,easy comfort food from my childhood, and my kids love it too.
No more real concrete news about Daniel, but the word I have received this week has been guardedly optimistic and I have been talking to our travel agenct about buying tickets to fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
