May 15 9:00 pm

Hey Guys, The doctor came by and said the orthopedist he was waiting to hear from is out of town all week. Thus, the reason he never heard from him. The doctor hopes Neil can get to UAB Monday or Tuesday Neil talked to the doctor about the nausea. He said he would send a GI doctor by and he did. After talking to Neil, the doctor said he felt sure this was delayed gastric emptying which is caused by all the medications Neil must take. He suggested a low fat diet, but said it would really only get better when he was off all the medication. He wants Neil to have a barium swallow tomorrow just to be sure nothing else was wrong. Physical therapy came by and Neil did great. He sat up for about 15 minutes worked out his upper body. The wound care folks came by and changed the dressing on his abdomen. Wow, this looks great. All in all, this has been a good day. We cannot wait until tomorrow. Please pray for Neil's leg.



Please continue to pray for Shanna's full recovery and our other friends here.



Mr. Frank Clark's sister, Ms. Cox, has been able to leave here and go Capital First Rehab. This is wonderful. Please pray for her recovery.



Thanks so very much for your love and support. You all mean so much to us.
