Dear Family and Friends,
We're ALL back at the rental house!  To our surprise and great delight, Lissy was discharged from the hospital this evening, and we enjoyed dinner together at the house.  Hallelujah!  Praise the Lord!  We can't even begin to express how happy and grateful we are that she's out of the hospital, doing well, and that all of you have been so supportive and been praying so diligently!

The doctors have requested that we stay in town for a couple of days just to make sure nothing goes amiss, so we will fly back Monday and arrive home Monday night.

Thank you for your prayers for little Sydney and her heart transplant as well.  Since Lissy was moved to the step-down unit, we have not seen her and her family. Therefore, we unfortunately don't have any news to report, but I'm sure the family would appreciate your continued prayers.

Also, Betsy had an OB appointment yesterday, and everything looks good with baby boy (now 34.5 weeks gestation). We are grateful that he looks like he's going to hold on a few more weeks.

We are thrilled to be on our way home soon with our little girl, whose vocabulary now includes words such as "stethoscope", "blood pressure" and "x-ray"!

Please pray for us all in this time of transition, for continued healing for Lissy and protection from other illnesses as she continues to heal.  We will return to Mayo in a year to see how the valve repair is holding up and to get a prognosis for if/when future surgery is expected.

Psalm 126: 3, 5  "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy . . . Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy."

With much love and gratitude,
Betsy, Tom and Lissy

Does God Do E-Mail? Does God Have An E-Mail List? E-Mail. What did some of us do before E-Mail?  Paper, envelope, and stamps - now called snail mail because it took days.  E-Mail is "instant", consistent with the way we live today. E-Mail: "Electronic mail, most commonly referred to as email or e-mail since approximately 1993, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks". [Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email] E-Mail has been around since approximately 1993 , 20 years ago.  So, now is an anniversary.  About that time, I remember someone talking about how they could instantly communicate with a daughter who went off to college.  That was before I even had a home computer.  I never forgot that story by that father.  I wanted to be able to E-Mail. What's the one thing that we expect to receive from sending our an E-Mail?

Frank M. Barbush FRANK M. BARBUSH, The Grandfather I Never Knew I never met my father's father, my grandfather, Frank M. Barbush.  Suddenly, out of the blue, seeing his picture, I had the thought that, "If I could speak to my Grandfather, Frank M. Barbush, whom I never knew, what would I say?"  Well, let me say this . . . Hello Pop I never met you and never got to know you , because you left this life before I was born.
