Let me first say a big "THANK YOU" for all the warm wishes and prayers Jane received after my first email. As I would read each email to Jane, I could tell it uplifted her spirits. Please continue to pray as nothing can supplant its effectiveness. Thursday and Friday were both rough days but yesterday and especially today was and have been a much easier go of it, though I must say, taking those initial steps after surgery is always painful. Jane managed (with much prodding) to walk three times every day, each time being longer and farther than the last...a very good thing. She is still being administered copious amounts of antibiotics and some pain medication but all seems to be progressing as planned as there is no sign of infection thus far with the exception of her urinary track infection which was there from the start. Jane had nothing to eat until Friday (soup) as a precaution to more surgery but today has eaten a little more though not much more. It looks like at least Monday before the doctor will entertain the idea of going home. Again, thanks for all the email, phone calls and prayers as they have really meant a lot to Jane. I will keep you posted. Blessings, Mike /"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived"//./
