Things are going to slow down a bit for a while, it can't be helped, sorry.

Today, wife goes in for some pre-op stuff.

Come Monday, she goes in for surgery. It might be somewhat simple, but could wind up being a can of worms with a lot involved. There is a golf ball sized tumor and they don't know what else is in there or what is even going to be happening for sure.

So for a couple of days, things are going to fall behind. I am really very sorry. I am finishing off one major order now, was hoping to have it done before surgery to have it shipped off... It didn't work out that way. There has been a few extra domestic duties on my shoulders that have eaten in to my time.

If it is your thing, send positive vibes my way. We could use them.

Our worst fear is her losing her ability to have children.

Long story short. Wife got pregnant. At about 12 weeks, she had a cyst burst in her womb. Baby was lost. Wife was almost lost. She bled out badly. Found out there was some tumors in there. Had to have one surgery, and now, this one. This could go from a simple procedure with a little camera and a laser to a full blown C section exploratory surgery ending with the removal of what allows her to offer up the gift of life.

This has been hard on both of us.

Life goes on though. Maybe different, maybe better, maybe worse, but a bad day being alive is better than the perfect day being dead.

You and your wife have the prayers of my Irish lass and myself.

Dread, please know that there are many of us that will be sending prayers above for you and your bride! My wife and I went through this several years ago and the she tells me that the support of a loving husband helps a lot. I know that you will be attentive to her and her needs right now.
