Toto, I Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore!

In other words, he's off to see the Wizard (I'll leave the Ruby Slippers jokes to the rest of you). He got the call at 10:45 last night that there is a bed in St. Louis. The ambulance arrived about 8:30 this morning to take him. That should only cost about 4 grand.

Francis: Loved your video link. I think I have a crush on all 4 of those guys! Great idea to turn it into a musical, as Greg's singing talent is legend. Maybe we could bring in Andrew Lloyd Webber and turn it into an opera?

Judy: You are sleeping on the ironing board when you are here. (The comparison to Meryl Streep was NOT enough to save you!).

Well, yesterday Dr. YaYa SureSure and the rest of the Kansas Krew decided to do a CT scan. The only useful information gleaned from that is that he has gall stones (don't we all?). A-Sypmtomatic gall stones. I really don't think that's the problem here! Then, they decided that maybe they should remove his port, as that can sometimes be a cause of infection. Great idea! Let's perform surgery on the guy with no plateletes! Brilliant! (Don't worry -- they didn't. Seems he got out of there just in the nick of time).

His fever is still hovering around 100 point something, so the 48 hour clock has not been re-set yet, so keep praying. However, in a few hours he will be in MUCH better hands.

I'm going up tonight to spend the weekend. I'll have Internet access there, too. So, I'll post more when I know something.

Oh, and Eric is NOT named after Hoss Cartwright! Judy is smoking crack again.

Love,

Ann

Thanks for all the prayers! They must be working!

I can't wait to hear the story about why Eric is named after Hoss....

I was sitting in the jury box for a whole day last Monday. Transcending above my sense of civic duty, I wanted to get out and go back to work because Hop Sing was having a day off and went to a nearby casino with Toto. Eric “Hoss” Cartwright did not want to go along because he wanted to be the lone ranger! So I told the judge that I know Ann, THE public defender. The judge was impressed but not enough to let me go. Not like Greg, I don’t sleep with my lawyer; therefore I was all set to serve my jury sentence! Well, it was not until the defense attorney found out I used to work with crackheads that he hurried up and kicked me out of the room. Talking about crackheads… Judy, denial is common among crackheads; but sleeping on an ironing board could be equally dangerous. You may fall and crack your head!

Anyway, glad to know Greg was able to get the H-E-Double-Hockey-sticks out of the hospital in Kansas. I know he will missed Dorothy…

Francis,

I was the Queen of De-Nile for a long time! However, sticking to my guns about not letting Ann make me sleep on the ironing board. I think the Easter Bunny would bring her nothing but Bunny Beans (if you know what I mean) if she did.

Glad to see you did your civic duty, we nned more people like you who can daydream through a trial.

And I don't think it's been real great for Greg to sleep with his lawyer, look where it got him!

We hope you guys are doing MUCH better in St. Louis and can't wait for the word that the fever nasties are Gone With The Wind.

Maybe Vivian Leigh couldplay Ann in the miniseries, I think they are about the same age.....
