Our Kelli is Home!!!

Hey everyone, our Kelli is home. Bobbye went to stay with her today and was able to bring her home. Boy was she glad to get out of the hospital. Turns out the doctor informed us the tumor was 10 pounds not 7. She was the proud owner of 43 staples. Now she just wants the pain killers and family company. The nurses and helpers were awesome that took care of her and now its our turn. We appreciate all of your help and prayers. A humble thank you doesn't seem like enough, but Thanks.

Kelli is Better Every Day

Kelli is progressing more and more. Hopefully tomorrow she can start eating food again. Soft foods of course. She had a lot of company today and she was very tired by late afternoon. She still needs her pain medications and is getting up and walking more and more. Her hospital room is starting to look like a florist. We appreciate so much the love and calls and notes everyone is sending. Hopefully she will be home next week. Who knows.

Kelli Update

We found out today that the tumor that was removed had no trace of cancer in it. Good news and a productive day for Kelli. She was able to get up 5 times today. She is still in a considerable amount of pain, but getting stronger. She is still exhausted when she gets back in bed and is very sore. We'll keep you posted.

Kelli is Hangin In There

Thanks to everyone who is thinking of and praying for Kelli. She is so brave, and she amazes me with the strength and perseverance she possesses. Kelli will be in the hospital for a week and she is hanging in there. She is in a lot of pain, but she keeps her sense of humor as best as she can. Will update you as I can. The tumor that was taken out was 7 pounds.

Papa and Katie

Papa loves his Kaydence. She was giving big hugs to Gramy and Papa this weekend. We love that she misses us.

MOVING SHERRILL AND JOHN IN VEGAS

We drove to Las Vegas to help Sherrill and John move into their new apartment this weekend and got to see Kaydence. She is growing so fast. She is 17 months now and into everything. As we were leaving Vegas we decided to stop and go see the Bellagio water show. What an amazing show. Every 15 minutes, they do a different song to the water dance. We got seranaded to "Viva Las Vegas! We had a good time. HALLA KELLI!!

Grandchildren and Daughter Time

Michael and I have had a busy month with our daughters and our grandchildren. Benjamin loves to watch a movie with Grandpa, and Kaydence loves to chatter on and on and on. Bradley is the quiet one who loves to coo and talk in giberish. It was great to have Sherrill with us for awhile, and Kelli celebrated the new 2009 year with us on New Year's Eve. We will welcome our new grandson hopefully April 30th of this year (Sherrill). We'll see how that schedule works out. We love our life and our family and friends so much and feel richly blessed by all of you.
