Paul's Update: Saturday, Sept 2nd at 12pm
At around 3:30pm on Thursday of this week I rec'd a telephone call from Karen herself on my cell. She called me to let me know that she had just been "sprung from the hospital, and was home" at her dad's house.Her spirits have been much better since she got home, and her dad and I both agree that we have seen a marked improvement in Karen this week. We can only attribute this change to the surgery on Monday, and the effect it had. She looks great, is much more positive and the headaches that she had been experiencing before the surgery appear to have gone away.
She still has some pain from the surgery, but hey, wouldn't we all if someone had just drilled four holes in our heads.
One of our concerns at this point is Karen's annual leave. You all have been so generous in your gifts, however, Karen's leave balance at this point only runs until the end of this month. If you know of anyone who works for the federal government, and has some unused annual leave, please encourage them to gift a few hours to Karen. It would be a shame for her to have to go on unpaid leave at this point in her recovery process. The links for annual leave forms and instructions are posted to the right. -- Thanks!

So glad to hear she's home and her spirits are good! :)
Thanks for the update, Paul. Sounds like the road to recovery has just smoothed a little bit. Though I don't know anyone working for the federal gov't, I will be praying that much needed paid leave will come your way.

It's been a while since an update has been posted. I'm praying that no news is good news. Take care and keep up the strong recovery, Karen!
Our high school music department trip will be coming into Washington, D.C. on March 15 - 18. Sure would be good to see you while we're in town!
Take care,
Amanda
