Whose turn is it???

Today has been up and down but we are all going to bed on a good note. Ross had a rough morning trying to get out of bed and sitting up (his body just was not ready)... but now he is doing awesome.

He is recognizing people who are coming to visit and talking to people more.

Tonight he asked us where his phone was, we gave him his phone and he said he would call us if he needed us! HA!! Implying that he wanted us out so he could rest. We all went down to the cafeteria and told fun stories about Ross and breathed a big SIGH of relief.

Hopefully Ross will be doing even better tomorrow and ready to chat with more visitors!!

He wont be going home tomorrow but lets keep our fingers crossed for Monday!

Tomorrow if he is up to it we will read him all of his comments!

Thanks for the prayers!

10:00 p.m. Wed Night

Ross is doing great, and finally getting solid rest. He's been snoring away in his bed since his surgery.

We are so grateful for the care that he is getting here at St. Johns in Tulsa. Feel free to stop by tomorrow afternoon and pay him a visit, hopefully he will be up!

Tomorrow we will post some pictures of his cool room!!

Feel free to leave him a comment, we will read them all to him tomorrow when he is coherent.

SURGERY UPDATE!!

Finally a breath of fresh air! You wouldn't believe the change in the mood over the past thirty minutes.

Ross just got out of surgery and the surgeon brought good news! His surgery went better than expected. The doctor said that we might even get to take him home on Friday. (we're crossing our fingers)

The road to recovery will be long but as long as he is back to Roscoe A.S.A.P. we will all be happy!!

We are all anxious to see him and for him to feel better.

The surgery was on his hip but I wont get into details because I am sure that I will get them wrong.

His room is so fun and decorated, I will take some photos when he gets back! Will update after he gets back and we can talk to him!

Thanks for your prayers!

Ross Update... 3.25.09 11:30 A.M.

Friends!

Thank you so much for praying for Ross and for all of the messages that you have sent to Ross, Drew, Kevin and Laurie. Thanks to all the visitors and supporters who have stopped by. Drew and I keep sitting here in aw as people fill the room every few minutes to come give Ross support. A nurse told a friend earlier that this is something they have never seen before (so many visitors). I guess the first night that he was here he had 20 visitors in the E.R. AND thanks to Tyrel for sticking by his side the whole time!

Anyways, I just wanted to give an update on where things are. He was just wheeled off to have surgery on his hip. We were hoping that they could do surgery on his knee at the same time but they said we have to wait until later this week.

His spirits have seemed to be getting better the last day. When we first got here he could only express that he was in pain. But we started surrounding him and just chatting with him every time that he would wake up and that seemed to calm him down more. Last night he was quoting scripture that him and Kamryn are memorizing together and telling Drew he was glad that he was here. All good signs!

Anyways, just a quick update. I will update again this afternoon after surgery and we know how things are going....

Thanks for all of your prayers!! Please continue praying!
