has been, well...pretty great. Liza got to take another shower, which makes some of you think "so what," but is a feat in and of itself. We changed the dressing on her head again, but left the airtight dressing alone on her leg. She came outside a bit today and watched the kids play, see the picture. We also have a post-op appointment scheduled for Friday morning at 8:45 with Dr. Comair. We are anxious to see him again and 'officially' chart Liza's progress and get the opportunity to ask questions about the pain and other sensations she's feeling on her left side. So far we've been chalking it up to swelling in the brain and neck area, which Dr. Tornado suggested was the cause the day we checked out of the hospital. We were also able to help a new friend of ours, who also has a Chiari malformation. Hopefully she will be able to see Dr. Comair for a consult soon. Liza's mum went back to teaching this week and is still working with all the volunteers that are preparing for the benefit concert for Liza, November 9. My mother is still here and working like a slave. The kids adore her and I think she's loving it too, despite all the work. That's about it, except for my large Hebrew exam tomorrow night. Keep praying for Liza please (and only after that, the Hebrew exam...). Blessings.

Welcome to COW! We have been praying for Liza and your precious family, and feel blessed to have Andrew among us. We will continue to pray for Liza's complete healing and freedom from pain, and for the day she can bring Andrew to school herself!

I don't personally now either of you but my best friend takes dance at Excellcier. Where I heard the story. I have seen many of the dances and have loved them. I have been praying along with our church I will continue to pray for the pain to reduce as much as possible. God bless.
I just found out about Liza this morning. I will be praying for her and your whole family. You all hold a special place in my heart.
With love,

Scot, good luck on the hebrew exam, speaking of hebrew, I saw that guy driving the Israel car (with the "ark" foil trailer) on Harvey this morning. I remember you talking about him when we were in C.S. long ago. Love you guys.
