Thanks for your prayers for Emily....she finally came out of surgery around 8 last night. I was told that the surgeon was very pleased with how everything went and how much they were able to move her spine. She was put in ICU for the night so that they could monitor her very closely but Kay was able to see her for a few minutes and said she was talking and doing okay for someone that had been in surgery since noon. I am so thankful that everything went well and now I hope that the recovery is not too painful for her. She's such a tough kid! I continue to pray for strength and peace for Vicki and Todd....times like this are so hard for them and I know that they get no rest staying at the hospital around the clock. I am hoping that they will get to come home from the hospital early next week so they can all rest and recover.
I am doing fine today. The bone crushing pain in my lower legs and feet is more like a constant ache today. The cramps have finally stopped and the "crazy" rash has still not returned (YEAH!!!)...I am almost afraid to write that for fear that it will just pop back out again!!! I have continued to take benadryl every night, I am not sure if that is why it hasn't returned but I am just enjoying some time without it!

Jan, As you will see by the e-mail I sent you, Emily is struggling today with some issues so keep the prayers coming girls!! I am glad the terrible rash isn't an issue right now and once again you are on your way to feeling better. Praying for you too!!
Love, Kay
OOh, sorry to hear about Emily struggling. I am glad the surgery went well and hopefully as the day progressed the issues were resolved. What a trying time for your family.
Jan, so glad your rash has not returned. Great minds think alike because I was thinking - might have been afraid to type that out (wouldn't want to jinx myself!).... Anyway, thinking of you today and every day! Thanks. By the way, Tim Mckinny was in the office yesterday and asked me how you were doing and how Bret was holding up! Take care... Sue
Jan, I don't write comments often but I have your site on my Favorites and I check it everyday. My heart goes out to you and I'm so sorry you are having to go through all this misery. Sometimes the cure seems worse than the ailment! Be encouraged there will come a day when all of this is behind you.
Love and prayers, Dorothy
I'm sorry to hear Emily is having a tough go of it. She sounds like a tough little girl (just like Auntie Jan!) and a great judge of character! I pray for comfort and peace for ALL of the Deels!
Take care!
Libby
