Good Morning!!!! - and a Happy THREE YEAR Re-birthday to you!!! I found this quote and just love it! When running up a hill, it’s alright to give up as many times as you wish – as long as your feet keep moving. By - Shoma Morita M.D. I can only imagine that your experience has been wonderful. Full of changes and new experiences. I can hardly wait to see what I look like and feel like one year out!!! Congratulations to YOU!!! If you have an opportunity and/or haven’t already, please stop by and update your profile! We’d all love to know how well you’ve progressed!!! Have a FANTASTIC DAY! RNY 10/31/03 down 115 pounds!!!

Melinda is at home now. She was released around noon. She was so glad to be at home (I would prefer my bed over a hospital bed too...LOL) When I spoke with her she was taking it easy and watching a movie. Ernie will be going back to work tomorrow and I have her daughter Allandra, so she will get caught up on her rest and get to adjust to being at home again. WELCOME HOME MELINDA!~!~! We LOVE you soooo much. Congrat's on your crossing to the other side. I will meet you there shortly. LOL. You will be up running shortly. And then the weight will be melting off. GOOD LUCK and I will see you this weekend.

Melinda was suppose to get to go home yesterday (Sunday) but is having to stay due to a fever. She is doing great and has even made it around the nurses station now. She is a strong person I was just there to make her stronger. I pray Melinda for a speedy recovery and that the next 18 months go bye super fast so that you may focus on the next months making a beautiful baby. Good Luck and I know you will do fine. Ok, now keep up those breathing treatments too. While in the hospital we met a beautiful and wonderful lady most of you may know, Dana. She is gorgeous (inside and out). I cannot wait for Melinda to get well and come home so she can help me get my approval and get my surgery date. I am so excited to look as good as Dana and her husband does. Dana you are such an inspiration. Keep up the good work. I was such a pleasure to meet you. Hope you had an nice trip back home. Keep in Touch. -Nurse Kratchett (Is what Melinda called me) LOL :)

Melinda is doing absolutely wonderful!!! She has a VERY supportive husband and sis-in-law who is taken very good care of her! I was thrilled to meet Melinda on my un-planned trip to Dallas. I got to answer a lot of her questions and help walk her to the nurses station! I wish I had done as well as she is doing! She has a little pain on her left side (which I did too and was told it was a pulled muscle) She has a little fever (which I had the same).. she is absolutely normal and very excited about this! She already looks good to me and will be knocking them dead in a few months! Zale Liphsy is an awesome hospital and Doctor Provost is wonderful! Melinda has a great attitude and she will go far in this! I cant believe the wonderful support her sis-in-law Betty is giving her! she should be a nurse! Melinda.. you hang in there sweetie and it was a pleasure meeting you! Keep me updated!!!!!

Melinda, your big day is almost here. I will always be your angel. You are the sweetest thing since Hershey's chocolate bars (ok forget I said that) LOL I will be leaving tomorrow from Big Ol' Amarillo, TX to travel (BY MYSELF) to be with you on your special day in Dallas, TX. I must admit though you are most definately worth it. My love and prayers go with you during your surgery and always. Love your sis-n-law (sister)...BETTY
