I will skip the annual New Year’s Eve dinner we have with friends. Pat knew that was coming, but I would be miserable with worry if I were to go, even for a few hours. Pat doesn’t read this, so I can say it, would much rather be home anyhow with the kids.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>We still have his pancreatitis to get through, thanks Sandy for the chicken suggestion, will keep it in mind when he does start back eating normally. He won’t have anything to eat or drink till tomorrow. I sure hope he is going to want it! I am taking a shower early then will get us all settled in for the night.
