**CORRECTION**

My poor, poor Mother. In her old age she has lost her ability to accurately relay information. (We sometimes call her Virginia!) It seems that Nick has not officially been diagnosed with Lymphoma, but that it is suspected he has it. I have been told that my sister does not believe that he has it, though. As you can see I get everything through the grapevine as Kylie and I never speak on the phone. (We do exchange the occassional text, I pray for her family daily, and I have been known to randomly mail her things so don't start on this "you two are sisters- you should keep in better touch" crap, thank you) Also, his appointment Thursday is the schedule the biopsy- not to have it yet. I still firmly believe that any happy thoughts or prayers you could send their way would be helpful and appreciated. **I think that this has all been corrected. I appoligize for my misinformation. I was unaware that Deb needed to be fact-checked. (I'm only kidding, Mom. I know you have a lot going on. I love you.)**

MacKenzie waiting and waiting and waiting in the vet's exam room. She's such a happy girl!

In other medical news, MacKenzie has a bacterial infection. The vet believes it came from playing with Sam (the neighborhood dog) who lives with 2 other dogs and 3 cats. MacKenzie is to avoid all contact with him from now on. I never knew that her playmates needed to be screened. I guess one can never be too careful. Anyway, she is on anti-biotics for the next 10 days. We leave in 6 for San Francisco so she has to go to the kennel while sick. :( I hate that. I wish we knew people out here that could care for her. She misses her Grammy and Carla weekend stays! The vet charged me another office visit even though Mac was in last week for the same issue. This would never have happened in Fishers. Grr! I also waited 1.25 hours for her to be seen today and she had an appointment. Again, never happened at Bridgeview. I got a little emotional at the vet as MacKenzie is such a big part of our lives and I hate when she's sick. Please keep her in your prayers, too.
