As day #2 comes to a close we are settling in for a good night sleep (fingers crossed). We had a nice evening as Glen brought the kids up and we got Julie & Shelly to walk to the waiting area to see Taylor, Jeff, Bryn, Kimber, Cade and Heather Combs. This was Julie's first walk...she did great! Shelly is a pro at this walking bit already.....she is tough! Julie and Shelly loved seeing the kids and spending time with them. Gordon & Carrol Olsen (Julie's parents) and James & Lynn Holley (Julie's sister & husband) also joined us so we had one big party with lots of pictures taken as we took up the entire waiting room on the 10th floor. Our two angels did tire quickly, but it was so good to see them getting around. I am sure Glen will get a picture or two posted tomorrow morning of our short little party. We all realize it will take some time for our ladies to get their strength back, but we love to see the progress!

The girls are still both trying to get their bowels to work so they can eat some food....Shelly's really craving a boritto and Julie's thinking an In & Out cheese burger sounds tasty. All in good time :) I am sure your tasty treats are just around the corner! We truly appreciate all the prayers and support - as well as your comments! Thanks for sharing with us! Good Night.

How great! We'd all like to be there to witness so thank you for letting us share without intruding but know that we are here if you need anything. Our thoughts are with you. You were prayed for tonight at the YW New Beginnings as well as in our homes. What a great thing to have forefront in the thoughts of the Young Women and the rest of us. We missed both of your families and look forward to having you back soon.

Walking and Dulcolax - a surgery patient's best friends. That cheeseburger & burrito will surely hit the spot.

I love seeing you up and around.

This is all just so amazing! The feeling in the ward is like nothing I've ever experienced. Thanks for keeping us updated and letting us all be a part of the recovery. We love you and continue to send prayers your way.
