Michael....these are real challenging health events you are going through. I pray that you remain positive about getting your A1C lowered in order to get the reconstructive surgery scheduled and completed. Thank you to Katherine for doing a good job in reporting the medical updates on this Caring Bridge site and being a strong, supportive wife and caretaker. All of you are in my prayers daily. Hugs and love.
