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.

Tuesday morning update

Dad came home last night.  He was exhausted and I wished I could go to work for him so that he could stay with mom.

She has been struggling a little with some nausea caused by her feeding tube feedings.  They are trying to regulate it for her, but seem to be having a little trouble finding a good balance for her.  She has been able to get out of bed and move to her chair and she has walked (with a walker) a little bit.  She is in good spirits, as usual, and they have given her some good pain medication which, according to Dad, has made for some pretty funny moments.  

Her sister, Kay Marie, is there with her now and she sent me this update this morning:

"Suzi is doing better.  They slowed down the tube feedings and tried a different med for nausea.  The big challenge today is to get adequate nutrition in her.  She will be putting full weight on her leg for the first time.  Also, they will be uncovering where the skin graft was taken; the doc said it will hurt.  These are her challenges you can pray about.

She said she dreamed in Australian last night.  :)  Sounds fun!  Our love to all, Suzi and KM."


Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support.  I have received some emails and comments, which I will be sure to pass on to Mom.  She feels your love and prayers.
