Recovery

Thank you all for your prayers and your kind words of encouragement. Kristi has been slowly recovering from her surgery. She is still quite sore at her surgery site, her body is adjusting to some new realities, and she needs to gain more strength. Yesterday afternoon she was discharged from the hospital. She has been making significant progress in her recovery. She still moves very slowly and gingerly, but the pain is manageable.

Her blood sugar levels have been a little elevated but not alarmingly high. The medical team has been watching it, but so far diabetes doesn't seem to be a big concern.

We will have a follow-up appointment soon, hopefully on Friday. We're looking forward to the chance to learn the answers to a few more of our questions then.

Our plan is to return to Kansas soon after our appointment, depending on whether Kristi is ready to make the trip.

For now we are comfortably settled into a hotel in Manhattan. We are learning a lot about life in New York City--some parts of it are pretty cool, some things are very "interesting," and there are a few things we're not so convinced about.

We appreciate you!

Scott and Kristi
