With the maggots away, the thieves will play

Surgery went well. Dr. Duke opted to give the microsurgeons a couple days off and put in a wound vac instead, and Saturday dad might get a new set of micro docs. All things considered, it sounds like he’s doing pretty well.

Things seem to have been falling in place for all of us. Dad continues to make small progress, mom has adjusted to her home in the waiting room, Suzanne is doing well in school despite everything else on her mind, Bonnie and I are okay too. We’ve all adjusted to our routines.

Yesterday someone decided to liven things up a bit and steal mom’s purse out of the ICU waiting room. This is definitely not what she needed, but she handled it well. We all prayed to St. Anthony in hopes that the purse would show up. I do believe that God does not give you more than you can handle, because that same person who stole the purse, apparently couldn’t find the bulk of the money she had inside. He/she took a little bit of cash and ditched it a few miles away in a restaurant bathroom. The purse was recovered with her phone, wallet, and other important items still inside! Please continue to pray for dad (and mom too). Thank God for the “better days” dad is having and for allowing mom to get her purse back.

  1. PLEASE tell her to report the theft to her bank & credit card companies ASAP. Even thought the cards were not taken, the thief could have her bank account & credit card numbers. Also call the 3 credit unions & have a fraud alert placed on their account. This will help stop any idenity theft. This family does not need this right now. A crook could be out there right now, using her information to buy a new vehicle, or anything else. You won't know until the bills start pouring in....Good luck!

  2. She did these things yesterday before the purse was found. Thanks so much for your help!
