Monday

Julia is having a great day. She slept her normal 12 hours last night and has been chatty and playful all day. Morphine is a wonderful thing! She got out in the halls riding her car and actually walks with help. She thinks she can do it, but she's loopy and weak and would be a train wreck if she ever gets away from us :) She's been playing with us, Carter, Shana, Mimi, and Grandpa today. She spent some time sitting on the couch and standing supported on her own. She's soundly napping right now. This is the first day we've been able to keep her normal schedule. We had a great personal music class- the four of us- and the volunteer music teacher here. He brought a bunch of instruments and we were all singing and playing. We had a great visit with Pastor Chris and Traci- you guys were so sweet. Julia adores all the attention.

The surgeon- Dr. Pranikoff- is on his way up to meet with us. It is the first time we have seen him since Friday's surgery. Please pray for the consultation with him. We don't know if it will all be official today or tomorrow, but the thought of having to sit down and hear everything at once and potentially make decisions is a lot to handle at the moment. We are prepared for what we are going to hear, we just don't want to hear them say it. They also have to give you all the bad with the good, all at once. please just be in prayer for this process. We are unsure if it will actually happen today or tomorrow. I know Dr. Wofford- the oncologist- is here, but not sure if we are being released from surgery to them or not.
