Its official, he's APPROVED

Hi Everyone!! Thanks for the prayers a few days back, they seemd to have worked!! My Dad still has not smoked since his quit date, and I was able to get off from work in order to go with him to the Dr's office. And the really good news??? HE HAS INSURANCE APPROVAL AND A DATE SET!! His date is April 21, 10:30am, Fair Oaks Hospital. Of course he has alot of testing and nutritionist appointments between now and then, but we also know what we are looking at. He will have to spend the night in ICU, but other than that, as long as everything comes out right with his testing and such, things are a GO Thanks for the prayers, and say one more little one for him for me please Love you all!! Dianna

I am so happy for your dad, I know that he must be so excited I know that you are so happy for him Dianna, he is blessed to have a daughter as sweet and encouraging as you are! God bless and have a wonderful and blessed weekend! Love and Hugs, Tammy Chisom

That is great news Dianna. I have been waiting to hear how his appointment went. I will continue to pray for him as he prepares for surgery, & for you & Julie also. Courtney

Oh, Dianna! I'm so happy for him and happy for your whole family! Congratulations! Kathy

Dianna !!! I am so happy for your family. Yeah for your Dad !!!!! Hugs, Dana

Now THAT's the kinda news I love to start my weekends with!!!! I'm so happy for your father and YOU, because I know you will "live" every step of his journey as if it were your own. Your father (and sister) are very fortunate - they have a "been there done that, bought the size XXXX T-shirt" experience in YOU. You're a wonderful example of what can happen if you maximize the opportunities that come with this second chance to LIVE life again! Hugs to ALL ~ Lei Pssst.. Carole, Wendy and I are checking out a new club this weekend called "Night Fever" ...who knows, after we've had a chance to experience it LIVE, it might be an option for your (Cleves, Natalie, Betsy, etc) weekend in April? I'll let you know how it turns out. In the mean time, heres a link to the place: http://nightfeverdanceclub.com/ .
