Day 11
Good News,
The trip to Houston was a long hard trip and we were just MINUTES ahead of a police chase and shoot out on I45 South to town. I literally mean two minutes ahead of an 'Ol Texas Gunfight'. We were so blessed to be ahead of all that mess. We went through all that to spend about 30 seconds with Dr. Hanson and for him to say that the site was normal and it was just drainage and that she was a little irritated from her internal stitches. We were so relieved and grateful there was no infection (yet - knock on wood).
What we are really on our knees about today is our dear sweet friend, Kris, has had to have what looks like an emergency revision on her back. She was in a car wreck about 3 months ago and the appliance failed. She seemed to be in serious pain and made a visit to her doctor. It seems that he decided Kris could not wait. Before we knew it, she was in surgery then into ICU. Please pray that she will be pain free, the doctors will fix what is needed correctly, and that she will not be discouraged. You have all been such prayer warriors for Shelby and we felt the love and encouragement all along the way. Our road has smoothed out a bit but we ask you to keep praying.
Tomorrow, Taylor will be singing in our Region Choir Concert at 5:00 pm. We are so proud of her and her accomplishments. She was James Madison in our school's version of the 'Constitutinal Convention' today. They were asked to 'dress the part' and she created her own costume. She wrote her won speech and the convention was performed for the whole school throughout the day.
Have a blessed day,
Kim

Shelby,
We were so glad to hear that you did not have an infection! We will keep praying that you say "infection-free." Your dad also told us that you got to go outside for a few minutes yesterday. Yea! It was such a pretty day--we know you enjoyed that! We know that God is cradling you and giving you the strength to get through your recovery each day. We cannot wait to see your beautiful smile!
We love you!
