It’s been 5 weeks since we rushed to the emergency room
and Gerald was diagnosed with gallstones.
It’s been a tremendously difficult month. We’re grateful for everyone who has shared their personal story with us. We’ve learned that gallstones are fairly common, immensely painful, and every person has their own unique journey. We’ve figured out the special dietary requirements (no fat, no spice, no caffeine), and Gerald has reached a much more stable place.
And that leads to the good news:
We have a Surgery Date!!!
We met with the surgeon last Monday.
Gerald will have his gallbladder surgery on Friday, May 30.
Here’s the plan:
Over the next two months, we’ll need to strictly stick to the diet to keep any gallbladder attacks at bay.
Gerald has a few other, unrelated conditions, so we’ll need a few extra appointments and communications just to make sure he’s in the best possible position for surgery.
Two weeks before surgery, he’ll be put on a high-protein, shake-based diet. We’re calling this his Supermodel Diet!
Finally, he’ll meet with the pre-surgical team at the hospital to make sure he’s cleared for surgery.
We have a great team of doctors, who have all been very knowledgeable and compassionate.
And honestly, it just feels so good to have a plan in place!
So, where does that leave Infinitely More for now?
We have two events on the calendar here in St. Catharines - the annual Downtown Good Friday Walk and the Great Canadian Sing-along. Details at www.InfinitelyMore.ca/Calendar
We’re excited for both, but we don’t plan on doing any other events before the surgery.
We’re currently booking concerts and worship services for July and August, and our hope is that we can have a fun and busy summer of singing!
We're also able to do a limited amount of online teaching in this season.
If you're interested in Voice or Songwriting lessons, please contact us via FACEBOOK or www.InfinitelyMore.ca/Contact
Allison is also offering coaching sessions on Goal Setting (for everyone!) and Touring, Concert Booking, and Music Business (for artists).
In the meantime, our main goal is to keep healthy, take care of one another,
stay close to God, and rest often as we lead up to the surgery date.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers, love, and support!
We are so grateful for each of you!
Blessings,
Allison + Gerald
