March 21 10:30 am

Just visited Neil. My, my Neil looks great. He wants the bed up. Neil wanted his glasses. Yea!!!! He is on the pressure controlled ventilator. The setting is 15 PEEP, 14 breaths a minute, 40% oxygen. His oxygen sat is 95. Neil will have to have a pint of blood this morning. This not does not scare us. His blood pressure is within normal range. He looks beautiful!!!!! DeAnn is spending a few extra minutes with Neil. Our minister and his wife came by and we were able to have communion with Neil. We were all honored to accept communion for Neil. Our church family has been so very supportive and loving. To say we are a blessed family is certainly an understatement. Please pray for Neil's lungs

Please pray for Sue. Her daughters were pleased with their visit this morning.

Kim should be released today from Brookwood today. The doctors found a stone in the bowel duct. My goodness, we are having things happen we have never heard. Please pray for her recovery and safe travel home.

Please keep remembering Mary as she has treatments. I trust Katey is taking care of this sweet family. Thanks to you all for your love and support.

What a WONDERFUL Good Friday Neil and the rest of you are having!! We are so happy for all of you! We love each of you and all of you PLEAES be very careful in your travels today! Good Friday 2000, our family was faced with some terribly trying times. By no means to this degree, but God did bless us with family and friends to get us through the situation. God continues as promised to be a good God and he has certainly proven that in the Hornsby family, the Stephens family, the Grantham family and the Smith family.
Love to all of you, especially Neil. Do tell Neil we talked about an Easter egg hunt on the beach this summer! If you can have Christmas in July, we can certainly have Easter in July!

My goodness! Did you ever dream three weeks ago that you would be taking the communion of our Blessed Savior with your precious son and husband? Just makes me cry with absolute joy.

I sure do love you all, Sara Smith
