friday daytime visit

well, julie was doing pretty well today when i saw her. she was in good spirits, but they are still having a tough time getting her pain managed. gerald was going to help her walk this afternoon and hopefully the movement will help with some of that. she also was able to eat some beef soup (not so tasty she said) and some pudding and a chocolate "mighty shake" which was apparently not that bad.... on the rest of the front - she is for sure as feisty as always and has had some "ugly superlatives" (her words) for the pain and the delays sometimes in getting that managed. i was very happy to see her smiling and joking though. however, please have her in your prayers still for a speedy recovery and hopefully an end to this pain. they are hoping to release her saturday or sunday....if i had to guess i'd say sunday at the rate we are going. i am getting ready to go relieve gerald and i'm staying the night so i'll have more updates either tonight or tomorrow..... thanks again - tobra
