Good Morning! Robert was up at 5am this morning. He sat in a chair for 30 minutes and went for a walk. He is doing really good. The doctors are very proud of his progress. He needs to get up and walk 4 or 5 more times today. He has said that he is sore all over but he is still going strong and his spirits are still good. The surgeons up here are really good and explain everything extremely well. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers, keep them coming. Roxie did get 8 hours of sleep last night, the most she has gotten in at least a month. Please keep everyone in your prayers! Pat- by the way it is too late all the family secrets are out, Robert told anyone that would listen everything yesterday, they could not get him to quit talking. Ha! Ha! The family thanks everyone from the bottom of their hearts for all the thoughts and prayers!

So glad that the surgery went well. Robert we really enjoyed the corn. Roy is ready to go hunting when you are. Roxie it is scary to think of Roy and Robert with guns and with each other. Thinking of all of you. Rudy is running around like a wild child. Thank goodness Shaelee isn't. Thoughts and Prayers.

Glad to hear that Robert is up and around so that he can get back to chasing Rowdy in a few weeks, I am sure that he misses his Daddy.
We love you all
