April 1 6:00 pm

Just visited Neil"pray for Neil's lungs. He is feeling better this afternoon. Yea!!!! So, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the two chest tubes on the right lung have become very painful. The good news is that this indicates the lung is fully inflated. The bone stimulator is here and Neil's fractures have been "stimulated" for the first time. We are certainly hoping this will provide a jump start to the healing. Please pray for Neil's lungs.

Please pray for the full recovery of Sue, Shannon and our other friends here. We cannot wait to see what new tricks Sue has up her sleeve after she surprised us by being in the "big girl" chair. You know her daughter calls her "Queen". She sure looked like she was leading a Mardi Gras parade. Listen to this, Sue was in this chair for FOUR hours and the nurses made her get out. Doesn't that make you smile.

Christine Paulk is in a room and is doing well. It seems she will be discharged from here straight to home. You will remember she is getting married May 31.

Please remember Mathew Dyess. He is from Troy and was in a wreck January 5, 2008. He has been home and has had to come back for another surgery. He is in a room and is recovering. We certainly hope and pray this is his last surgery. His family is so supportive of him.

We continue to receive love and support from the Andress family and keep them in our hearts and prayers.
