      Barb,

      This news is just terrific. How wonderful is it that you got to take a walk with your six-yr-old, for the first time, and so soon after surgery. You are a rock star!

      I will continue to pray for your health and healing...

          Barb,

          I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well after your first surgery. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for another successful surgery on the 27th. Your surgeon must be a gem and you must be very happy.

              Barb,

              I've been wondering about you! Glad to hear you are doing well. Please do keep us posted about surgery #2, as we will be thinking about you. It's great that you're doing so well, but don't push it after #2--you'll need to heel so you can do all those great things with your kids when you're better!
