Rescheduled Surgery Date

Surgery is now scheduled for Monday, February 4th. Dr. Harris would like to allow time for Vicki's fever to go down and remove the chest tubes from her left side. Vicki has been awake several times today and smiled when Holly showed her pictures of her grandchildren and shared get well notes they had written. She always asks for Aaron and he is always right there. Teri (another sister of Vicki's) visited this morning and Vicki asked her, "Can we get out of here? I want to leave!" We had to chuckle a little at that. Vicki and Teri have always been "partners in crime." She is still heavily medicated due to her injuries, but when she communicates with us it brings us so much joy. We are always by her side - she has taken care of others all her life and now it is our turn to take care of her.

Thanks again for your love, prayers, and support!

all right Vicki and Teri - don't you two be conspiring some kind of escape! we will post security if need be. McDonalds will have to wait until you get a little better and I promise, I'll bring it to you everyday if you so desire. you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know God will continue to wrap his loving arms around you until you can stand on your own. Until then, find comfort in His love.
