Selena's Surgery Update

Hello everyone,

I would like to first say thank you for all your support, thoughts and prayers.  It has meant so much!  Selena's road to recovery will be so much smoother knowing there are so many people that care!

Thursday was in fact a very long day!  She was taken to the O.R. at 10 a.m. and I was finally able to see her in post op at midnight.  Overall everything went well and the surgeons feel confidant about the surgery.  It was a very busy procedure, she had five areas operated on.  Needless to say she is very sore and now a few days later is just starting to regain some of her strength.  This afternoon we are going to go for a walk down the hall.  She has made great progress though, she is off IV meds and is eating on her own!  Everyday she shows signs of improvement and in a few days we will bring her home.  Obviously she has been through a lot, mentally and now physically.  She truly has set the standard of what courage, strength, love and faith mean!

Thank you all again for all of your support.  It has been overwhelming and has helped us to keep moving forward!

Take care,
Shawn
