Lightly Salted

This month has not been ideal in many ways. We were finally told that Albert had been given a new date for surgery (the third time now), next Friday. Unfortunately we already had the lad at the doctor earlier that day for a fever and cough. After months of being as healthy as he has ever been, Albert has another throat infection. If you could spare a prayer for him, he is struggling with fever and a nasty cough at present.

On a previous occasion the surgeon indicated he will not operate if Albert has been on antibiotics within a month of the the operation. It seems we are likely to be placed back on the 4-8 week waiting list again. That fact alone is emotionally draining, but it is not the only problem.

As you may be aware, Albert was scheduled for throat surgery tomorrow morning. The surgeon called this morning to let us know that there are not enough beds in ICU at present to receive Albert after the operation, so his operation has been postponed, 

We have no indication of when the operation will be scheduled.
