Visiting Hours

We finally got to see Joan and Addie when we returned to the hospital after dinner. Joan is coherent and was able to tell us about her experience. She is definitely not ready to get up any time soon, but she was alert and doing as well as could be expected. They hope to have her up and walking tomorrow (to which she responded that she can not even think about that now!) We stayed until visiting hours were over (8 p.m.) and then went to see Addie. We can visit Joan again after 11 a.m. tomorrow. Addie is in another wing of the hospital and has her own private room. She was still groggy, but looking really great! She has several machines monitoring her, but the nurse seemed very vigilant and said they are more flexible about visiting hours and we could come see her again in the morning. We are feeling very positive about everything and looking forward to visiting them again tomorrow!

    We thought of you so much today as you both went on this journey -- and we are SO grateful to know that both surgeries went well. Our prayers continue to hold you (we even made up a song about praying for you that we sung to Baby Tae today)! May you sense God's presence as you recover and restore to full health. What a gift you both gave and received today! We love you and look forward to hearing more!

    Blessings,
    Jana, Mike, and Tae :-)

    Love and hugs and more love to both of you from the Volk family. We explained to Taylor today what was happening and he said, "I think Joan is a real super hero!" As if Joan could be any more amazing in his life... you really are a super hero Joan and the best most wonderful friend and daughter in the whole world! Addie we love you and are so grateful that you are on the mend. I wish I could be there to hug and kiss you both. Love and to Joy,Jade,Pete and the whole family. Kisses, Holley
