	*05/17/2000 05:09 PM* HELLO everyone I would like to thank everyone for their well wishs and sending out all your prayers for me. I cam home yesterday, feeling a little tired and slow. Other than that everything went well. I can't wait to start feeling like myself again. So, want to thank Gina who called me at the hospital to see how I was doing. Thank you again everyone. Chicken broth never tasted so good (LOL). I will give more updates as I recover. — Valerie C.
	*05/14/2000 10:41 PM* Dear Valerie, So glad to hear that you are up and doing well. I know that if you have faith in Jesus Christ that the work will be done through Him. I meditated on these 2 scriptures in particular, 2Kings20:5 I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. And then after my surgery, this one still is my rock, Ephesians3:20,21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,......to him be glory. Jesus is The Great Physician and I will pray for your rcovery and continued strength in the Lord. Thanks to your daughter for keeping us informed on your progress. God bless!! Frannie — [Anonymous]
	*05/14/2000 06:56 PM* Dear Valerie, I am so glad you are doing well. I also ran a slight fever for a few days off and on...its nothing to worry about. I tried to call you when you were still in SICU but they wouldnt put me through because I wasnt immediate family. I thought about calling back and saying I was your cousin or something but figured you probably needed your rest anyway...so I will call you on Monday afternoon. Keep your spirits high and keep smiling. Love and HUGS...GINA RISO — ginariso

She rain a fever for the past two days but it came down (thank GOD). She's happy that the surgery is over with and she can't wait to get home and neither can we. She is satisfied that she decided to have the surgery at Clara Maass. As of today she is still eating ice chips, but starting tomorrow she will start drinking liquids. The nursing staff there is wonderful. My mother also stared taking walks up and down the hallways of the hospital. I am so glad that her progress is going well. GOD BLESS, Nijyyah. — Valerie C.

Just like we talked about, keep that energy high and your spirits too. You will be running around in a few weeks and no one will be able to keep you still.
