Saturday Night - 2/16

Karen was able to come home from the hospital on Thursday night after her second surgery. She is experiencing some soreness which is understandable given that she has had two surgeries in the past week or so. Otherwise she is feeling good and keeping her great attitude about things.

She is staying at home for now and is resting quite a bit. With her anti-rejection drugs, her immunity is very low and the doctors recommend she avoid large groups of people for the next month or so. This is especially important right now with the flu epidemic that is going around. That means that she probably won't be back at church for a while. Our church friends and neighbors have been great about providing meals for us which has really been nice.

Karen will be required to go to Baptist twice a week for "clinic" where they will continue to monitor her closely and adjust her medications as needed. I am not sure how long this will last, but the frequency will be reduced over time.

As always, thanks for your prayers and support!

Rusty
