Katie doing great

Katie's surgery went very well and the Doctor said she is in complete health though she will be in a lot of pain for the next couple of days while she recovers. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers they definitely worked. Katie is on a mission to be completely healthy by one week from today when her sister Stephanie arrives for 10 days.

Meanwhile our thoughts and prayers are with Nick and Julia Koclanes and Maryann Walsh. We are so sorry to hear the news and will be thinking of you.

Update

So much has gone on the last three weeks and we just haven't had time to update our blog. Last week Katie felt some pain and after a visit to the emergency room we found out that she had a ruptured cyst and will need to have Laparoscopic surgery on June 25 at the George Town Hospital to remove another cyst. We have a great Doctor and are very hopeful that things will go off with no complications. Not to be outdone, the kitties both started having sneezes and droopy eyes and the vet indicated that they have kitty herpes most likely caught back at the humane society kennel so their weakened immune systems are susceptible to that type of problems. They have been on antibiotics and are doing better.

Prior to that we had Katie's concert over at the Grand Old House. We have photo's, digital clips and also a DVD that in time we will post on this site in some form or another. It was a tremendous concert and evening. The music and meal next to the water were just incredible. The choir is on hiatus now until September when they start preparing for their Christmas concert season.

Prior to that we hosted Scott's father and his wife for a long weekend and spent time showing them around the Island. They were a dry run for the family coming in the months ahead starting with Katie's sister Stephanie who comes at the beginning of July for 10 days.

We are in the first week of the summer quarter and with our business manager just having given birth and our Director of Operations now being the news director at CITN we are having to cover several jobs and that has made things a little insane at the college.

Will let everyone know about Katie as soon as we know more. Keep her in your thoughts.

Rainy Season comes in with a bang

The rainy (read Hurricane) season officially started on Sunday. From Wednesday of last week on though we got a preview as for five straight days we have gotten rain. Much of it is from the hurricane in the eastern Pacific and from the tropical storm that hit Belize. We are getting the outer bands of both of those storms. Yesterday, Katie and I went to Cost U Less the Cayman version of Costco and stocked up on bulk canned good items for our hurricane kit as well as picking up some 5 Gallon Water containers for drinking water supplies. We hope to finish out our kit over the next few weeks. Katie's concert is this Saturday at the Grand Old House and she has rehearsals for it three times this week. Next week is final exams and the end of the Spring quarter. We have a National Holiday on June 16th celebrating the Queen's birthday then jump right into the Summer quarter beginning on the 18th.
