Mom's surgery update

Mom underwent laproscopic surgery yesterday at Lenox Hill Hospital. She had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed and a D&C. Thank God the pathology was benign. She was in and out on the same day and is recuperating at my house.

David's working too hard and is exhausted. I guess we've got to plan a trip away, somewhere warm and relaxing.

My nephew Justin in Florida and his wife Noke were blessed with a new baby boy last week. He was over 10 lbs and his name is Julian. Welcome, Julian!

The kids are finishing up their semesters at Queens College and are now doing their papers and studying for finals.

Illana has been suffering terribly. She had shoulder surgery over a month ago but is not only still in pain, but is in more pain than ever. She's been going to physical therapy which doesn't seem to be working and just started acupuncture. Hopefully, she'll get some relief. We'll be praying for her.

Happy Chanukah to my Jewish friends, Merry & meaningful Christmas to my Christian friends and all the best of the season to those who fall into other categories. Thank you so much for your prayers and good wishes. Believe in miracles!
