Dear Dave & Irene,  We like to watch “It’s a wonderful Life” every year too.  I enjoyed your comments about it.  I am praising the Lord of the good report on the platelets and billirubin.  That’s great.  We will concentrate our prayer on Irene’s appetite and strength.  I recall when my Dad had heart by-pass surgery that he sruggled for a while with nausea and then to regain his appetite.  The doctor didn’t have an explanation but my mom thought it was from medication but finally his body adjusted and he began eating great.  He is now 88 and doing well.  I am trusting the Lord to give Irene the relief she needs and more strength every day.  Love,  Dave & Bev
