"You're a Panic"

That's an expression from the past. We used to use those words when we meant someone was funny, humorous, made us laugh, etc.

Well, I talked to Micki today. Now, she's "a panic." She's in the hospital in Interlachen, and so far all the tests are not showing anything. They know there's something wrong, but haven't found it yet. She does have a leaky heart valve, but they haven't said anything about how bad that is, or whether they're going to do surgery.

I wish I could be there with her and ask the doctor more pointed questions as to what they're doing, what they're giving her, and what her prognosis is, but I can't.

She's in great spirits, though. In other words, she's "a panic." When talking with her it was like I was still in her home with her. We just picked up where we left off. And the laughter began within the first minute we spoke to each other. She's grateful to know that folks are praying for her. So, keep praying for her. Pray that the docs will find out what's causing her problem.

Katy (her dog) is being taken care of. I was concerned about Katy, but figured she (Micki) had that covered if anything ever happened to her. Her neighbor, who loves Katy as much as Micki does, it taking care of her. Her neighbor has two grandchildren who visit her on weekends, from time to time, and this past weekend was one of those visits. Katy took to those two children like white on rice. Now, Micki wonders if Katy will be glad to see her when she comes home. Silly wondering. Of course, Katy will be glad to see her. She's been Micki for over 10 years.

Well, I think you get the picture on Micki. Continuing praying for her, okay?
