Good Morning

Sorry to say that our joy and happiness was short lived.  Michael was taken
to the ER this evening after dialysis because his foot has continued to
worsen.  The doctor thought it might be a blood clot but after test were
made they have determined that it is vascular and so they transferred him to
another hospital in Johnson City, Tenn to the Medical Center there.  A
surgeon was standing by for his arrival.  Since he has had this problem with
his foot for 2 weeks the local doctor was afraid that if they did not act
quickly that he could loose his leg.  Actually both of his feet are affected
but only the left foot is giving him problems.  His foot is swollen, nails
are purple and his feet are so cold and painful.  I can not see to drive  at
night and a snow storm is expected tonight and tomorrow.  Michael insisted
that I return home until tomorrow and family members will drive me.  I have
no clue where Johnson City, Tenn. is located.  Will give you an update soon.
Mary
