Progress Update

 In the waiting room they have a screen (see below) that shows the progress of all the surgery's going on.  Dad is the top pink bubble.  We're getting towards the end.  Now this is just the estimated time of surgery, it could take much longer.  But we feel like we're making progress.  Nothing to report really.  Mom, Abbie, Grandpa Smith, Uncle Russ, Mike and I are just sitting here waiting. 


Just got a call from the nurse.  They are still operating.  No thoughts on how much longer it will be.... but she said he was doing well. 
Keep the prayers coming!

  2. Brian and I are watching via computer. Brian is on the road today but has his I-Pod with him for when he gets in range of the internet. Our prayers are with all of you and especially the surgeons. We are planning to fly over in the morning. We'll probably get to the hospital around noonish. Love - Brian and Julie

  4. I am so happy for all of theses updates! I am waaay more intense about this than we were the Jimmer show last night, and that's saying a lot! haha! Even Crew is curious. He keeps asking Grandpa's picture on the computer, "Are you better Grandpa David?" And he's blowing lots of kisses at the screen for Grandpa. And he just said, "I love you!" (But it sounded more like singing "aahh luuff yaa! dodado!") Hang in there! Love you all!
