June 3 8:00

Good afternoon, Neil has had a good day. The doctor came by and said someone would be by to change the dressing on his leg. He was pleased with Neil's progress. The dressing was changed and the Neil's leg looked very good. They did a culture just to be extra sure there was no infection. Physical therapy came by and Neil sat on the side of the bed and exercised. Neil had a consultation regarding the prosthesis he will get in the future. This was very informative. It seems that Neil will remain here until Monday or Tuesday. He will get the skin graft on Monday and will have time to be sure all the medications are effective. We sure look forward to tomorrow. Please pray for Neil's recovery.

We met April Kirkland today. Her baby girl, Lily Grace, was born at 25 weeks (March 26) and has been in the NICU since then. She will be here probably until July. Lily Grace continues to improve. Please pray for the full recovery of Lily Grace.

Sue's son-in-law, Ed, came by. He takes such good care of us. He said Sue was having a good day. Please continue to pray for Sue.

We so appreciate your love and support. We could have never managed this without you.
