they say

They say God only gives you what you can handle. I guess God thinks that Anne can handle a lot.
On top of her going out of remission she is now back in the hospital with an inflamed /infected gall bladder and faces possible surgery if antibiotics don't resolve it. Her symptoms have steadily worsened over the past 5 or 6 days from fever to nausea to severe abdominal pain. I will forgo the details at this time but say that in her typical iron willed style she has faced it and continues to so with great focus, determination and purpose. She has gotten some relief from Dilaudid a powerful pain medication. We'll know more in the next few days and hopefully the pain will subside as the gall bladder calms down. This of course is the very highly edited and shortened version of this past week's events and details but it's all I have time or energy for right now.

Love to all,

Dennis

Dennis and Anne,

I called Anne's home today to check in with her, and learned of her infected gallbladder from Nancy. I send love and support to you and to dear Anne. I love you, Anne. Hang in there . . . you are a beautiful and strong goddess.

All my love,
Ruthann
