Another GREAT day!

Just stepped out of the room to leave mom and dad to themselves for some much needed sleep. Dad has been transferred to his own room in the ICU and is still making great progress. His speech is still improving and now rest and relaxation are important to assist his body with the healing process. We are so thankful for all of the visitors as it has helped to pass the long and sometimes scary hours of hospital time. But at this point we would like to request that visitors hold off from joining us at the hospital until he is transfered home. The next few days are critical to the healing process and we will certainly need your support in the weeks and months to come.

Should you feel inclined - I know that mom will be in no condition to grocery shop or make meals so once we are released from the hospital your assistance with meals would be greatly appreciated. I will provide information and updates over the next few days as I receive it. Mom reviewed all the comments and posting this morning and was bursting with joy - she is really looking forward to sharing these with dad when he is a bit further along. So KEEP the comments coming!!!

Much love,
Bobby, Elaine, Melissa, Justin, and Rachel

    You have been in my thoughts so much over the past 3 days. I am so glad to hear the surgery was a success and pray for best possible pathology results. Thank you so much for keeping us posted this way. So many people are sending prayers your way.

    Please know that you're covered in prayer here in NC. A little "southern" prayer won't hurt anybody! Continue to rest and we'll continue to pray for ALL of you.

    Love,
    Brian and Diann Harwood

    Take advantage of all the quiet time and rest. The Lord is holding all of you tenderly in his hands, as you make it through this tumultuous time. You are in our thoughts and prayers, always.
