Having a great time hanging out with Caleb, Vickie and Mal's Aunt Barbie. I was there when the neurosurgeon came by and he said there is less than a 5% chance she will need brain surgery. SUPER YAY! Don't gross out, but while we were there she also had her first BM on her own. That's a very big deal! We are all very excited about her progress.
About to leave. Kevin and Em should be here soon. I am headed back to Austin Sunday. Hope see Mal smiling when I come back next weekend. Y'all keep the updates coming! - from julia's cell On Jul 19, 2013, at 14:21, Julia Germany <germa...@aol.com> wrote: > :) > > GAWD - LOVE Lyndon's signature on the awesome pig! > > Very peaceful here.
