Good morning from Maryland!
Mackenzie continues to do well. She is having the expected surgical pain, but her headache (the one she has had for almost two years now) is much improved. This is an answer to our prayers! Please pray for this to continue.
Another prayer request we have is that Mackenzie not develop pneumonia. Dr. Henderson used parts of two ribs under Mackenzie’s left shoulder blade as the bone fusion material for her neck. As you can imagine, taking deep breaths is uncomfortable, so there is a risk for pneumonia.
Mackenzie was able to sit up yesterday and even stood up once with physical therapy. The therapist will come twice today to get her up, and the goal is for her to walk some today.
Another of our goals today is to play Scrabble! Mackenzie and I love to play Scrabble. One of the first times we noticed she was having a hard time cognitively was when she could not remember the sequence of the alphabet to look up a word in the dictionary while we were playing Scrabble. So, we are going to do our own experiment! Mitchell was so sweet yesterday to go buy this game so we could play! I will let you know who wins! ;-)
We continue to be amazed by God’s grace! He has given us wonderful caregivers who have become our dear friends!
We pray you will see the beauty of the Lord today in all things!
We love you all,
Mitchell, Lisa, and Mackenzie

It's so great to hear things are going well and the headache is better! We will continue to keep you guys in our prayers. Try to take a deep breath and enjoy your game of scrabble!
Oh, I LOVE Scrabble too!!! I'm so glad you plan to play a bit...a whole game might be tiring...but you can start one and then rest during it and start up again, etc.
Still praying for you, MacK!!
love you

Hey Mackenzie. I know you don't know me, but I work with your dad. I feel like I know you because we've discussed you a lot. I've been praying for you as has my bible study group. My son, Tony, thinks you are a very strong person to go through what you have. God is awesome and I'm glad He's looking out for you. P.S. Mitchell, you know I'm computer illiterate but,I finally figured out how to send a message. Are you proud of me?
Love, Colleen
Praise God! We can't wait to have you home soon! Markel, Larry and Josiah
