Sorry for the delay. I, Daryl, am back full swing into school, working, and studying and Laura is taking care of Natasha. It has been two weeks now since the surgery and Natasha has made some major steps. PTL! She continues to improve although she has a long way to go yet. One of my students had similar surgery and said he felt like it was about 2 months before he began to feel like he was 'over the hump.' If that's the case, then she still has another 6 weeks; however, surgeries affect different people different ways, so we will take it week by week. Thank the Lord, on Sat. night she slept for 2 straight hours. Yes, that's what I said, that was a huge answer to prayer because Laura has been getting up with her every hour to assist her in moving around to get a little more comfortable. Occasionally, I have given Laura a break, but Natasha prefers her mother's help. Early Monday morning, Natasha slept for several hours and both she and Laura were able to get some nice rest. PTL! There are a lot of ups and downs through this and one day she can bee feeling good, then the next, her body comes crashing down. So we covet your continued prayers.

I said out loud "PRAISE THE LORD" when I read that Natasha and Laura were able to get some VERY NEEDED hours of sleep! I've been begging Jesus for that!

Love and miss y'all tons!
