Good morning, sorry I didn't have time to post this sooner.

I went to see Kelly last night at the hospital and also got to meet her Mom.

Kelly had a bit of a meltdown yesterday - I think that all that has transpired finally hit her. She was so busy being brave before and during the BBQ - that she didn't tell us how scared she was of the impending surgery. It all came out yesterday.

After a good cup of hot tea.........and a visit from a chaplain that fully understands these things - she was much better. The chaplain brought her some literature about exactly this situation - so Kelly isn't unusual.

I thought she looked GREAT! Her Mom said that she looked so much better last evening than the day before.

She hardly uses the pain button now - only right before she needs to get out of bed.

No word yet on when she will be released - maybe she will find out today.

It was wonderful meeting her Mom - we sat and talked about Pet Talk and all of the fun.

Kelly wanted me to be sure to tell everyone thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts about her while she is in the hospital.

She misses you - and we miss her too!

P.S. She is holding "Sugar" her angel kitty that Karen sent to her.
