Dear Sari~
Hai! Miita kuuluu? Kiitos hyvaas!
Thank you so much for letting me know that you are back from your honeymoon! It sounds like you and Nikolas had a marvelous time in Kenya and Tanzania! I loved the picture of the baby cheetahs you put on your letter; that was too adorable!
I am okay, but I am currently sitting here in Johnny's hospital room. He had his tests yesterday and the day before, and he is absolutely worn out. Ronee' also had her hip replacement surgery yesterday, and she sailed through her surgery without any problems whatsoever, so that is a huge relief and an answer to prayer! Ronee' IS in some pain, but she is otherwise doing very well: her vital signs are stabile, and she is sleeping well. She will be starting physical therapy sometime this afternoon, and she should be out of bed by the time Monday rolls around if she continues to do as well as she is at the present time. As for Johnny, we are awaiting the results of his testing, and I am a little nervous about it. Pray that we get through this ungodly waiting period; it is absolutely MADDENING!!
Sari, you didn't have to get us anything from Africa! But I AM glad you were kind enough to think of us that way! We will be looking for your package, and when we get it we will let you know immediately! I am looking forward to receiving whatever it is that you sent us from Africa!
How is the weather there in Greece? Here it is sunny, and warm, with temps in the 80's, quite delightful weather. I am glad that summertime is almost here; I have always enjoyed the summertime! Hope the weather is as nice there as it is here!
Well, I am sorry that this isn't much of a letter, but Johnny is starting to moan, so I must try to settle him down. I will write more when I can. Take care, and thanks again for your concern about Johnny and Ronee'! Have a great day, and God bless you and Nikolas!
Nakemiin for now!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your (very relieved) friend in America, Louisiana Mayrah. :)
