Today's News

New updates/changes for this evening.

Kim was able to have her MRI/MRA tonight. She slept through it with out sedation and it went real smooth. Results should be in sometime tomorrow. I want to remind everyone - please no visitors for the next few days unless Becky or Kirk OK it.

Mom continues to gain strength but by the end of the day she is very tired and feeling some pain. This afternoon Mom and Dad discussed rehab options and have actually decided to try to go with their original hopes of the Medical Care Facility in Charlotte rather than the rehab floor at Sparrow that I mentioned earlier. It looks like she may be making that move as early as Friday. As they discussed it they really feel that it would be better for her to be close to everyone. She is not going to be very mobile anyway after she gets home - what's a few extra days in a rehab center.

Mom and Kim would both enjoy cards or letters. I've put the address for the hospital below - include the appropriate name and room #.

Thanks for the offers of help for Friday - everything is taken care of. Many of you have asked about Ty - he is fine, no broken bones just a strain.

Thanks for everything folks. Keep praying and I'll keep you updated.

Dan
