The power of prayer, I'm not a religious person, never have been. I do believe though that something bigger then myself put all this together. I have been doing a whole lot of praying lately though. I want to say thanks to everyone of you that said a prayer or two for my wife Lesli. I want to say thanks to specific people, you know who you are. George and Karen, thank you, Chris, my good friend that I worked with at Calex, and one that keeps me up at night while doing the over night deal, love you buddy. Tim, thanks for the encouragement, Shirley, thanks for a needed laugh at the right time. Brian thanks for keeping my head on straight, even though yours is on backwards at times...lol. There's a lot more of you, and I will always have a place in my heart for all of you.

We got to Jackson Memorial Hospital to the brain institute at 3pm. My wife kept asking me if everything was going to be alright. I didn't know, but kept telling her yes. You see, my father-in-law passed away back in '98 from a brain tumor as did my wifes grandmother. We had to fill out forms then we went to the room and waited until they hooked her up to all the machines. We were able to sit with the Doctor who is an expert in this field and watch the monitor with him. To cut this short, at 7pm last night we got the news, she has what is called an acceptable abnormality that is found in approximately 10 out of 100 cases he see's. She was born with it and will live with it the rest of her life with no adverse complications. We need to go back in 6 months to have the same test done and at that time if the 2 tests are the same then she will be done with this. Thank God. This all came about through a routine test they did last month when she was in the hospital for something completely unrelated to this.

This morning, laying in bed talking, she asked me if this scared me, in my infinite wisdom, and with the only answer I could come up with, I told her absolutely it did, she asked me why, and I told her, who would I get to cook my food when I got home to take back out.....I'm now in the dog house. God Bless all, give your loved ones a hug.

John, thats great news. Glad to hear Lesli is going to be fine, even if she stops cooking for you. All the best, buddy.

John, I will continue praying for Lesli and for you. I'm so sorry you two went through such a tramatic ordeal. I can see how you both quite frightened. I'm happy that it appears to have turned out well.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and heartfelt words. Both my wife and I are overwhelmed with everyone's kind words.

Unfotunately I had to go back to work. I left the house at 5am yesterday. Kellan was waiting for me at the truck. We loaded our stuff up then headed to Savannah to load. First I had to meet another driver in Melbourne to take his reefer and give him my dry Van. We then headed to our pick up. The load was going to Jersey but we dropped it in the yard at midnight last night. My truck needs its first servicing, I've had this truck for 2 months and have 51k on the clock already. My hometime and vacation starts on the 25th and the way this is all planned I will be home two days before Thanksgiving and leave on our cruise the 28th for a much deserved 10 day jaunt around the Caribbean. God Bless and be safe.
