Hi guys! I just talked to my mom today on the phone (she called). She's in quite a bit of pain, but in overall great spirits. The hospital staff helped her walk around this morning and they are going to try and get her up and walking again this afternoon/evening. She's pretty hoarse from some of the tubing they had in her throat during surgery. Simple tasks right now are pretty exhausting for her and she's very loopy on pain meds. Please keep the prayers coming. She can't wait to be home. 

She also made sure to send her immediate family a "Happy New Year!" text around 11:50 last night. She's a tough cookie and dedicated to her family. ❤
