Hearts for Suzi: The morning after

Early one morning, about a week before her surgery, Suzi's classmates and friends quietly covered her door with hearts. Each heart held a message of hope: tender words of encouragement, scriptures, hymns, pictures, poems, love, and compassion. She was very touched and moved the hearts to the wall outside her room where she can look at them often. To show our love and support, we are inviting people to add hearts to the wall. If you would like to add your support, you are welcome to bring one by the house (or use the hearts we have here) or please contact one of us for the address. You are also welcome to just send us a message and we can transfer it to a heart for you.

The morning after

I received this text from Dad shortly after 8:00 in the morning.

"Good morning! Mom is looking good. She can talk. All her vital signs are good. They want her to mostly rest today but if she feels up to it maybe do some walking or sitting in a chair."

I'm so excited she is up, talking, and looking good before 8:00 a.m.! That would be asking a lot of me on a regular morning, I can't imagine how difficult it would be after such an intense surgery. Go, Mom!

Prayers work, miracles happen. She will probably be home in a week. I would love to have a wall and a half covered with hearts; keep 'em coming!
