Blogging with the Williams

It was a great 4th of July weekend. Saturday attended surprise birthday luncheon with my Vinson & Elkins friends for Karen Mohr. We have been friends for 25 years or more and all worked together about 15 years. It was great fun. Also, we attended a benefit this weekend for a man that did not have the good fortune of Terry and is suffering from brain cancer. It was a pleasure to be able to attend and contribute but very humbling experience at the same time. Another reminder of our blessing. Terry's eye appointment last week went very well. His vision is good and the eye has fallen back into proper placement. There is some peripheral vision problems but doctor feels in time that will too come back. It was quite interesting as there were two interns in on the testing and evaluations. They were able to look at the MRI's and we heard a comment on how large the tumor was -- they were truly amazed. That is when the eye doctor commented that "Dr. DeMonte is a God!" So, again we realized how very fortunate we are to have this doctor do the surgery. It was indicated that the result may not have been this remarkable with another surgeon. Another MRI will be done on August 3 so we will be anxious to see the results of that. All and all Terry's recovery has been truly remarkable how well he is doing. So with Terry feeling better we have decided to go forward with our plans to travel to MN for my class reunion. It has been up in the air whether Terry could make the trip but he has decided he can do it. We are driving, decided a road trip might be enjoyable. To make it even better, my cousin, Joan, is driving up there with us -- what fun we are going to have so will be leaving in a couple of weeks.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
