Update.

   Eleanor seems to be doing well since her surgery last Thursday. Thanks to Barbara, who came to Seward on Friday and Saturday to provide support and assistance to Eleanor. Yesterday, Eleanor played Farkle, a dice game, in the activities room. Her friend Evelyn told her it was a waste of time, but Eleanor had a good time, and it's better than sitting in ones room. Thanks to Jill for the wonderful card with the cat in the hammock She has it placed on her table and comments on how nice it is every time I visit. Thanks to Mary Ann and Nette for the cards and phone calls. Eleanor loves to get mail and enjoys all the cards and notes she gets.
   Her surgeon called her two days ago to ask how she was doing and if she was taking her antibiotic pills. That really impressed her! Donna Meeks, Eleanor's sister in law, called and asked if Eleanor was doing well; she had a sense that she was not well--" a disturbance in the force?" We had been praying about the surgery, so maybe Donna was on the same channel.
   She received a letter from Bryan Hospital informing Eleanor that the information and I.D. card for new pacemaker should arrive in about one month. That was news to me, as I was under the impression that she was only having a battery replaced. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and cards!
