FlightCheck, you make my day! I have put on about 25 lbs since then (after putting on 20 before this one - a result of the medication from my accident; my dad will be amped on steroids for a while after his now).

But my mother’s philosophy is just like that Billy Crystal song “You Look Mahvelous”: [I]it’s not how you feel, it’s how you look. [/I] No, really. The funniest things after my dad’s last surgery for the same thing were the times he was sitting by their pool afterwards; I went over and said “What are you doing, getting the benefits of sun?” And he said “No, I’m working on my tan, it faded when I was in the hospital and all the glamor is gone.” And my mom was there nodding in agreement.

WILLEM, mein cosen, I beed wearing out mein curb chains for ur grandpa, und hoping he es doing vel. We all loff your momma, Coreene, and pray muy-mucho for all uff U. Gott bless!

Eomer, my fadder, rides liken der olden volk, um, drife. But I loff hiem nnievay.

[Coreene]

Found out today that it is more than twice the size of before, and that removing it will be a bit of a nightmare because they will have a hard time doing it and not ruining his sight or his facial muscles. So he is going to have extra tests this coming week on the peripheral vision (this is the first thing that is screwed up), and another blood test because the Cushings part in people makes diabetes come on much faster than in horses.

He is now so PO-ed about it that he is going to Holland in a few weeks to see his family, '“Just in case.” And that is damn scary.

The old curb is getting more of a workout now than when it was ON a bridle.

Jingling hard for you Willem and Coreene - and sending as many positive thoughts your way as I can.

YAYYYYY curb chains!

YAYYYY Coreene’s Dad!

thank heavens!

(too full of Christmas cheer to do more than babble incoherently)

[Heidi]

Besides the good looks, Coreene, I am sure you inherited your chutzpah (what’s the Dutch equivalent, BTW?) from your dad. Father-of-Coreene will drop kick the sucker, I’m sure.

In the meantime, many hugs to you, baby; and uber best wishes to your dad.

[Willem]

Und zo I be on der pins un needles right now.

Willem, please giff your modder Coreene (you LOFF her) a big hug from me. This should be easy as she is a verrie pretty lady. Her daddy is ien verrie handsome dude. I hope he is better verrie soon.

For the truth that binds us all together
I would like to say a simple prayer
That at this special time you will have true peace of mind
And loff to last throughout the coming year ~The Christmas Wish

[hoopoe]

Perhaps warm imported southern mud. To cold up here for that ( not that there is much mud anyway)

But happy dancing all around Coreene. I will continue to keep good thoughts for positive events.

Jingle jingle…Coreene I wanted to share a story that my 12th grade teacher told me - his Father-in-law was given 6 months to live after doctors discovered a tumor in his brain. He refused treatment; I think in his case it wasn’t very treatable anyways. Apparently, he would go every day into his garden, and lean on his shovel. He would stand there for an hour every day, thinking nothing but positive thoughts. Six months later, the doctors were flabberghasted that the tumor had disappeared. He is still alive, years later, and with no signs of the cancer returning. This is a true story. Jingle, jingle.

More jingles coming your way. Lots of {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}, too!

[Coreene]

…and I am so truly blessed to have all of you. Thank God for the power of the curb chain, and all the prayers, love and good wishes attached to them.

I printed out this thread on Tuesday, before beetling off to my parents’ house. They both send much love and thank you for the good wishes and prayers - they have been following Aiden’s journey with the same prayers and good thoughts and good wishes, and theya re touched that the same love you have brought to Aiden was brought to them as well.

I want to give each of you a giant hug and kiss, and since I can’t do that, picture me standing in front of my computer screen, arms around it, trying to send the hug that way.

I am overwhelmed at the privilege of being part of such a wonderful community.
