Update on Julie Howell Aug 14th 2008

I juts wanted to let everyone know they have found a medication to manage Julie's pain, the morphine was having no effect what-so-ever because of the pain meds they had her on for the back pain prior to the surgery. They switched to another pain med that I cannot pronounce let alone spell, but it has worked wonders. Last night she was laughing and joking and eating cheeseburgers. She was up walking yesterday as PT and will be again today. Based on the progress the Doctors fully expect her to go home Friday, praise the Lord.

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers, but keep them coming for everyone in our family, especially those on our family prayer list. God bless us all.
