Day 8

     We went to visit with Lisa before heading back to Kentucky today.  At her request and in honor of Easter weekend, we all performed the chicken dance while wearing our yellow gowns.  She took a picture of us for future reference and humiliation:)  It was VERY hard to leave her, even though we know she is in very good hands and will have visits from Paul and Kristi this weekend.  Another HUGE thank you to them for all that they have done for Lisa and our family.
     Lisa encountered a little bump in the road today.  She has been eating really well, but her body is having some trouble passing the fat from the food through the output of her chest tubes.  It is not an uncommon problem and often corrects itself within a couple of days.  She will not be allowed to have anything by mouth during this time, but will receive supplemental nutrition through her I.V. 
     Shannon will be flying in on Monday morning and getting Lisa's place ready for when she is discharged (hopefully midweek). 
     Lisa continues to be in very good spirits and is overwhelmed by all of the support and love that she has received.  Please continue to pray for her recovery and start to her new life!
