My niece and nephew were sweet enough to send mom a message via sidewalk chalk-- right up her alley! Although the healing is slow, mom seems to be feeling better every day. We're not sure why, but this surgery seemed to be a doozy-- hopefully she'll be 100% before long. Thank-you, again, for all that you have done to show us you're thinking about us AND fill moms refrigerator with lots to eat! Our fingers are crossed that this will be the last we need to update so frequently. Thank-you again for loving us through the rough patches-- we're so glad you're here!
