Cathy was supposed to have surgery on her jaw on Dec. 11th but everyone involved has decided to postpone it.
They think it is too soon to do this procedure because Cathy may still have the ability to stretch her jaw and improve on her own. The surgeon has given her methods to work on her jaw mobility and she will work hard to accomplish this in the coming weeks.
Yesterday Cathy visited the ophthalmologist. Her right eye has improved since the last visit! There is hope that the right eye will heal and be quite useful in the future. The integrity of the eye was spared in the accident and it is now allowing more peripheral vision. The eyelid is also opening more easily each day. Many people who suffer from eye injuries are able to maintain their vision due to the brain's ability to somehow accommodate for the damage.
Now, the crazy news...Lenny is having surgery on Dec. 11th!! He has a growth on his finger that the doctor needs to remove ASAP. Now that the surgeon has Cathy's time slot available, Lenny has taken it! Cathy will have the pleasure of nursing Lenny back to health!
So, that is the Herzfeld update for today. Cathy, we are so thrilled that everything is healing. We can't wait to see you on Dec. 12th. Lenny, get ready to be the patient for a change! Love, Linda and Ira

Lenny,
You are in my prayers as always, and now more than ever for a speedy recovery from your finger surgery. I'm sorry I kinda have to chuckle when I read that. You know I love you!
Cathy,
You have been on my mind for the past two months. Time truly flies before you know it, and then it's gone.
However, what will never be gone, is my love for you. My heart is with you every day and it inspires me to smile and carry on with my day, my life, my trials.
I pray that I am half as strong as you. Then I know I will make it through the storm.
Thank You both for helping me throughout my entire life.
You've taught me to look to the future with eyes wide open and shining, and to have a smile on my face that brings sunshine into the lives of people around me.
I love you both. I WILL see you soon.
Lauren
