Saturday, April 18

It's been a whirlwind week, but Tammy was able to send an update last night.
----------------------------------------------

Here's the latest news...

As you know, Taylor had surgery on Tuesday. Everything went well and she has not thrown up since the surgery. She was extremely sore the first couple of days, so they kept her on morphine, tylenol, and valium to help control the pain. Today(Friday), she seems to be a lot more comfortable. We arrived back to Pitt Memorial Hospital around 3pm. Our case worker, came in shortly after arrival to tell us that our insurance has granted Taylor 7 more days of therapy! Before the surgery, Taylor really wasn't getting the full benefits of rehab, so we are very grateful for this. Although our insurance company has questioned a lot of things, they sure have been coming through for us. Anyway, it looks like April 24th should be the date to get her back home! We have a long ways to go, but God has given us endurance through this ordeal, and we are so thankful to be given the opportunity to take care of our baby girl in a loving and familiar environment. God is great! Amen.

God Bless

Our God is an AWESOME God, isn't He? What wonderful news, Tammy! Donna sent an e-mail this a.m., and she filled us in on her and Dick's weekend in N.C. Sounded like a busy, hectic time; but I know it gave both her and Dick peace of mind to see what wonderful progress Taylor is making! You all are in our prayers daily, and God's grace is just amazing; and what strength He has given you all! Blessings to you and thank you so much for your witness! Hugs! Aunt Jan and Uncle Royce
