Blogging

I modified this website to make it more user friendly. Posting comments is easier now. I encourage you to do so since Linda loves hearing your messages and isn't yet comfortable with the phone! She frequently asks to hear the latest blog updates. John, Diane, & I really appreciate how this great tool has eased the burden of phone messages. This blog thing is new for many of us, even me, so let me know if I can help. It's good preparation for librarianship for me to help others with information technology and social networking!~Mindy

On Sunday, Linda was baffled by unusually severe pain in her side near the broken ribs and the tube in her lung. It may or may not have been a gas bubble, but it was rather bothersome. She remarked that it doesn't make sense to suffer worse pain from a relatively small problem than the pain she's generally feeling in her major injuries! Dr. Ikard, who was on call, came to check in with her about that pain. He spent a long time just giving her a chance to share her feelings and he is a very kind listener. We sure do appreciate all of the doctors, nurses, and technicians. Today, we are expecting a decision to be made regarding the removal of the lung tube, and her Skin Graft cast & bandaging are to be removed and observed again by Dr. Yuen.

John and Aancha, with Casey along, will be interviewed by Sync magazine today regarding the Firehouse Hostel & Museum.

Cece and Pat Bryles placed a tiara upon Linda's head yesterday to celebrate the 47 year anniversary since she was Homecoming Queen at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Thanks for boosting her spirit! Dr. Ikard said, "once a queen, always a queen!"
