PICTURES FROM THE HOSPITAL

In Annie's boredom at the hospital she began to give makeovers and hair stylings to Jerod(below) and Alex.  Notice the pigtails.

missy update for Monday

Unfortunately, Missy woke up not feeling as well as yesterday and the doctor decided this morning it would be best to stay another day.  Thus, we are hoping for Tuesday to be the departure day. 

She has gotten better throughout the day as the headache she had earlier has gone away.  Her eye was examined by the opthalmologist today.  A few days ago there were a few areas on her cornea that he wanted to check again but today he said all looked much better.  He wants to schedule another appointment with us once she is discharged to make sure all is well.

The hospital food is interesting here with rice and chicken the main course.  She even got a ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast the other day.  They brought up a typical Mexican breakfast dish of chiliquiles(cut up baked tortillas with salsa, sour cream and cheese on top).  They are very good but did not look good to a sick patient in the morning so she rejected them for a cheese quesadilla.  The hospital has obviously come across a good batch of cantelope so she has requested this for almost every meal.  It comes cut up and ready to eat.

Enough of my digressions, continue to pray for her head pain and that we will get to go home tomorrow.

missy update for Sunday

Missy definately took a turn for the better today.  You could tell in her voice that she had much more energy.  We enjoyed a Pizza Hut pizza while we unfortunatly watched the Mexican soccer team lose to Argentina today in the World Cup. 

We received some encouraging news today as the doctor said she might possibly be able to go home tomorrow.  It is not for sure but there is a decent chance.  We were told initially she would be in the hospital for 5 days or longer so we will definately take 4 days and be happy with it.

She needs to see the eye doctor again tomorrow so continue to pray that he will find nothing that concerns him.  She was finally able to open her eye today about half way without having to force it open so the swelling has gone down considerably. 

Thanks again for your notes and emails and we hope to have Missy back home again soon.  We, the rest of the family, really need her back and would love to get into a boring routine of a lifestyle once again.
