The Waiting Game
We started out the new year with some fun snowshoeing up by Leavenworth. We also watched Hudson for several days. We were planning a trip to Redmond, Oregon for our 24th anniversary (January 12th). We were hoping to give our new snowshoes a good workout.
Early the morning of January 11th Bob had a TIA - a mini stroke. He was transported to the hospital here in Wenatchee where we spent almost 3 hours. This is the second time he has had one of these TIA's - the first time being the end of August. Both of the TIA's lasted a minute or two and happened about 1:00am while he was sleeping. After the August episode they put Bob on a full aspirin, did bunches of tests, sent him to a vascular surgeon, and decided the aspirin should take care of things.
But, because of this second episode they have put him on Plavix along with the aspirin and scheduled him for surgery on his left carotid artery. That will happen on Wednesday morning, January 21st.
The trip to Redmond, Oregon has been canceled and we feel we're just waiting to get this all over with!

Good Luck, Bob. We hope all goes well today. I know how frightening this can be for both of you. We will be thinking and praying for you.
