June 13 5:00 pm

Good afternoon, Now, we are thinking this is the LAST Friday Neil will spend at Baptist South. I know, I know. I said that last Friday, but maybe it is true this week. Neil went to the doctor this morning and he said he wanted Neil to remain still, on his back through Monday. Apparently the middle of the Apligraf was not exactly as he wanted it. Later, the orthopedist came by and took out half of the staples on Neil's leg. He took out every other staple and week after next he will take out the remaining staples. He was very pleased with the incision. So, this will be another slow weekend in the hospital. The good news is the US Open is on and Neil is sure enjoying that. This is a great change to the usual television shows on day and night which have little to offer in the realm of enjoyment. Neil's spirits are good and he sure looks forward to the possibility of going to Health South on Monday. (Maybe, but we are not packing until they come to get Neil, HA) We sure look forward to tomorrow. Please pray for Neil's recovery.

I went by to see Sue today. What good fortune as I was able to see both of her sweet daughters. Sue is back in her apartment and is doing great. She is somewhat of a STAR as everyone wants to see her. This quick visit sure was a boost for me and I was able to share with Neil, DeAnn and all. Please continue to remember Sue in your prayers.

Please continue to pray for the full recovery of Shanna, Lily Grace and our other friends here.

Please pray for the family of Mr. Bill McCraney. He was involved in a tractor accident two weeks ago and passed away today. His family is precious and loves him so much.

Thanks so very much for your love and support. Hope you all have a good weekend planned.

Neil,
Slow is good....take your time and get healthy. This time next week I'm sure you'll be wishing you could get some rest. Ha. Only blue skies from here on out. Have a wonderful week end and enjoy the Golf. Love you sweetie,

Neil, I'm sure these days are getting long for you this week. Just lay back and enjoy the golf. Next week will be here before you know it. We think of you continuously. Please know you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Neil - So glad things are going good and that you soon will be out of there. I hope to be back in Montgomery late Monday so maybe you will be at Health South when I return. Have a good weekend! I love you. YPSSSYGA
