We've been blessed to have Charla's parents here today, along with her brother, Chuck, who drove up from McKinney, Texas. Also, we appreciate the care the Lessleys and Emily Green gave to Elizabeth last night and today. I'll post another update around 10 p.m. Thanks for the continued thoughts and prayers.–Kurt

Nausea, But Better
Charla continues to experience periods of nausea and vomiting (N/V). She reports the pain she has been experiencing in her legs and feet since Easter is gone. She has some soreness in her lower back, but she says it is somewhat different from the pain she had prior to her surgery. The surgeon says the pain she is experiencing there is likely due to the surgery and the "stiffening" of that area of her spine. We think the (N/V) may be coming in part from the IV pain medicine she is receiving. This afternoon the doctor told us he was very pleased with the surgery, and he will discharge Charla when she can "walk, eat and pee."

Glad to hear things are going okay. Hang in there, pain medications are tough on the system. You and your family are certainly in our prayers. Esthers doctors say that her spine sugery she had in the fifties is what is holding her together, still looks good--but she had weeks and weeks of a body cast. We love you and are looking forward to you feeling better. John. Bettie and Esther
