We made it through another season of Christmas with the family. The weekend before Christmas, we all gathered together for the Janszen and the Morgan Christmas. While all the family was gathered together out at the Ranch, Dad got a piece of chicken stuck for about 24 hours. Sounds gross, but it wasn't as bad as you think. It was bad in that, for about 24 hours, he was not able to drink or eat. Monday morning, Mom and Dad headed in to Dr. Bismar's office, and he was able to retrieve the chicken, keeping Dad from dehydrating. This was not as big of a scare, since we have gone through this before, we just really felt bad for Dad. He has to be careful with his eating, and make sure he chews very carefully from now on. It has been a long time since he has had food stuck.
He is heading to MD Anderson in January for his 6 month checkup, but while Dr. Bismar was retrieving the chicken, he looked around with the scope, and said things looked good, so we are hoping for a good report in January.
Thanks for keeping up with Dad. Happy New Year from our family to yours,
JJ

Updating
Hey there,
To anyone that is still checking this....Merry Christmas. Hope you are enjoying the season already.
Some of you are wondering and chastising us for being so random with the updates. Well, no news is good, I've always been told. Mike is hanging in there.
It has been over a year since he had to have a dilation. (Nov. 2009) Food occasionally will get stuck only for a moment then goes on down.
He has to be careful what and how much he eats. He can't seem to gain any weight, but he has gained strength and energy.
He goes back for his 6 month check-up and scans Jan. 18, 2011. We thank the Lord for each and every day that He has given us.
I have officially been released by my Orthopedic doctor. Bone has grown back at the sight of the bone graph and my strength in my arm should be back to normal by March, 2011. Metal is not a problem, thus far.
We are trying to update our mailing address book. If you would send us your current address we would really appreciate it.
If you haven't moved in the last 20 years, then we probably have it.
God has been so good to this undeserving family. We say all the time, our cup overflows. And you are part of the reason.
Thank you for praying for us the past couple of years. We wouldn't be here reporting to you this continuing saga if you hadn't.
Our love,
Jan and Mike
