Thursday 4:30 pm

Sorry about the delay in posting. Neil planned to post last night but nodded off to sleep. Neil is in a regular room on the floor. That says a lot about how well he is doing. He is uncomfortable but that is to be expected. They are really managing the pain quite well. The doctor came by and was still smiling. He said the surgery could not have gone any better. Neil has some temp this morning and some this afternoon. The doctor said that is not unusual for this type of surgery. He expects Neil might go home Monday or Tuesday and that is sooner than he had earlier anticpated. Neil was able to sit on the side of the bed today for several minutes. Tomorrow he will sit in a chair. The doctor changed his diet from clear liquid to full liquid, so that means Neil can go from sprite to a milkshake. Tomorrow he will be on a regular diet. Everyone here at Baptist South has been so kind to all of us. We have been able to renew many friendships from Neil's previous visits. Thanks to each of you for your love and support.

Please keep Ms. Ginny Howard in your prayers. She is making progress everyday and we are so excited for her and all of her family.
