We have been home now for a little over a week. Karly is doing good and slowly getting stronger. She is going to do school through home bound for a few weeks until she is strong enough to make it through a full day of school. Her hair is coming back and she is super excited about it. :)

Karly and I will return to Houston at the end of March for a PET scan and doctors visits.

Thank you for all the support!

We arrived at the hospital at 7:30am for Karly's surgery. She was called back to the prep room around 8:15. We had GREAT nurses and doctors today! woohoo Two of the Child Life people came and visited with Karly and one of them stayed with her until surgery time. Karly did FANTASTIC! When I went back to recovery to see her she was awake and said, "I feel great!" We were back at the hotel by noon. Karly is sore, but has been resting well. We plan to head back home on Thursday.

We made it back to Houston last night around 9:30pm. Karly had lab work done this morning and we met with anesthesia to prepare for her surgery in the morning. We have to be at the hospital at 7:30am for Karly's surgery. The procedure should be fairly quick and easy.

We got to see Keaton & Karen today. It was great to spend time with them and do some catching up. Please continue to pray for Keaton.

I also received word today that Daniel Porras from Sudan is not doing well at all. He has been receiving Hospice care for several weeks and his pain is getting really bad. Please pray for him and his family.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone!

I apologize for not updating in so long. We have been enjoying our time at home. Karly has been doing great! She has spent some time with some of her friends, which always makes her feel better.

Karly & I will head back to Houston next weekend, January 9 or 10. She has a couple appointments scheduled for Monday, Jan. 11 and on Tuesday she will have her port removed.

We can never say "Thank you" enough for all that has been done for us.
