Sorry I am late. Things are good. Had a longer visit with Neil. We saw the doctor at 8:30 and were able to stay until just now. The physical therapist came in and "dangled" Neil. We would say he sat up on the side of the bed. He was able to do this for a few minutes. It made him very nauseated. He did a very good job. The wound care folks are changing his abdomen dressing. They are not going to try the trach collar until this afternoon. Neil has started the day off with a bang. We are so proud of him. Please pray for Neil's lungs.
Please pray for the full recovery of Sue Shelton. They have determined there might be some bleeding from the colon. She will have a colonoscopy(?) later in the day. We would not choose this for her, but it sounds better than other things. Please remember her as you go through your day.
Please continue to pray for Shannon. We are so optimistic about her waking up. Her eyes have opened several times. Her parents are so dear and love her so much.
A good friend of ours is here with her uncle in CCU. He is having heart problems. His granddaughter is in Children's Hospital and they are very fearful of a diagnosis of leukemia. Let's all remember this family in our prayers.
Please continue to love and support Mike Andress and his family.
Thanks to all of you for loving and supporting us. Have a great Thursday.

Sounds like it is going to another big day for Neil! Keep dangling Neil and before long you are going to be up and about! We love you and are so proud of you!
Love,
Aunt Virginia and Uncle Tim
Hey, it is great to read and learn of Neil's progress each day. Thinking of all of you from Brandon, Ms. Love

Lucia, it is wonderful that Neil is progressing so well. Please tell your friend Sue's family that a colonoscopy is a piece of cake. I have them routinely and they put you to sleep and you don't feel a thing. Hopefully that will make her family feel better. I'll pray for all of them as well as Neil.

I am so glad that the chest tubes are out. That has got to feel better & is one step closer to the ventilator being GONE.
Lucia, I'm praying the child in Birmingham does not have leukemia, but if it does let me know. I'll give Will the family name. He & Melanie are really good about talking with families as sometimes it helps to talk with someone who has already been thru what you are facing. They will also put them on their prayer list at church. I remember shortly after Amanda was diagnosed with Leukemia, she told Will she knew she was going to be okay because there were people praying for her that she didn't even know.
Hope ya'll all have a good day & night.
Love,
Aunt Terry
