5/27/2008 - Tuesday

Just when I thought we could relax… Dawn arrived on Sunday and by Tuesday she had begun to recover from jet lag and two nights on planes. We’ve done a couple of walks on the campus to the east and to the west of the seminary campus. Tomorrow we planned to go to the Natal museum downtown… at six pm my time or noon in Toledo, we received a call that Mom [Charlesetta] is in St. Luke’s Hospital and is in need of surgery for an infected gall bladder. She’s 85 and frightened, but this does not seem to be an elective procedure. This is a necessity. So I await the doctor to call after the surgery has been completed. I’ve contacted her pastor and he said he would go to the hospital to be with her. Prayers are welcome.
