Dear Group, Vee's niece, Debbie, e-mailed me the following, dated last night: "Dear Ellen, "Please post to the Niagara Co. list for me: "Auntie Vee had to be at the Veterans Hosp at 12:00 today for her "surgery. At 2:30 they came and took her down. About 45 min later "the Dr came and told me the surgery would have to be postponed "until they could get her blood pressure down to a safe level. So again "we wait for another day. I will know first thing in the am when it "should be. Auntie Vee seems OK." "You have no idea how your thoughts and prayers are helping her through this. You're such a wonderful caring group." "I will continue to let you know how she's doing when I get home from the hospital on a daily basis. Thanks for your concern." "Debbie" Thank Heavens that God knows better than we do what He is doing! This whole problem has been going on since early May. And everytime that it appears Vee is on the right road, a block pops up. Please keep praying. The last time I spoke to her, she was pretty well stressed out and told me she didn't know how else to pray. I told her to just lay back, relax and rest on our prayers. (I am an ordained minister and have observed that often people under duress do better if they just trust in the prayers of others.) Please continue to hold her up... I'll continue to keep you posted, according to what Debbie relates. Ellen Colangelo
