Danielle's slow recovery is underway

Thank you for the notes and prayers for our daughter Danielle as we recovers from surgery last Friday. It brightened her day when the flowers arrived from Uncle Les and Ann (Sharron's brother and his family from Canada).

Danielle is recovering slowly. The pain in under control by medication however, the hours of sitting with her head at a 45 degree angle is beginning to take it's toll. She is unable to open her mouth very wide. Her favorite meal at this time is ice cream, which she eats with a baby spoon.

She will not let me near her with a camera. I can tell the emotional stress is growing and frustration is setting in. I am so glad she is here in Raleigh so we can take care of her.

We depart tomorrow morning for Charlotte so Danielle can meet with her surgeon. I will provide another update after we meet with the doctor. She so appreciates you kind comments and especially your prayers.
