Another Surgery Date

Vicki has been doing good. She is awake most of the time but mostly in a child-like state of mind due to the pain medication. She doesn't understand why she can't leave the hospital and go home. We laugh with her a lot though and enjoy communicating with her. They are continuing to wean her off of the vent. The longests she's been able to maintain is about 5 hours which is really good! As of last night, she is on the surgery schedule for tomorrow morning (Monday) to fix her right hip, right arm and possibly put pins in her right ankle. The doctors are keeping an eye on her temperature which seems to fluctuate. We are nervous about the surgery because of what happened last time, but we know it must take place. We continue to have faith that all will go well.

I will be going to the hospital later today. If I find out anything different I will update again before tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts, prayers and support. We are so thankful to have such wonderful friends.

There are no words to express our thankfulness to all of our friends. For prayers that have gone up for our family.(Kiss & Norris)world wide.The Lord has heard all of us. Vicki is doing much better but there is more to come for many months.Remember us as the last surgery is tomorrow, if all goes well. We love all of you for what you have done and enjoyed every visit from young and old friends, all the cards and FOOD. I thank Heavenly Father for His mighty hand in this.

This seems like a small thanks but it is from our heart.
