Sara's Surgery...Successful & Serendipitous


Mark was a visitor at the hospital on Tuesday 4/7/09. So was Sara, though she was visiting to have a more qualified professional than Mark remove some unwanted visitors from her insides.


As you all know Sara, she was smiling even while having an IV stuck in her arm. I passed out twice just looking at her.

Sara is allergic to hospital food, so they put this orange bracelet on her just in case some nasty old nurse tried anything foolish.

After many hours of controversial experimental surgical procedures, Sara emerged triumphant over the cysts, Demitri and his sidekick Estevez, that had been plaguing her for the past year. So to all you cysts out there with any grandiose ideas about preventing the McAvoys from having children, I have one thing to say to you: Don't even think about it. Christ is victor.


Many thanks to those who sent flowers, cards, and prayers. Or who came to relieve me of my male nurse duties (thanks Judy). And if you haven't called Sara to wish her well yet, you should. You better. She's off all this week. No excuses. Cell phones have free long distance, for cryin' out loud.
