GOOD NEWS!!! We got to talk with doctors today and not only did they tell Dara that she start on a liquid diet today (she has has nothing but ice chips since Sunday night 7pm) but they took out one of the 5 tubes she is connected to. We will be coming home with either two or three of the tubes in place since they need 2 to 4 weeks to completely heal (bladder & colon).
Dara is doing VERY well - and has been up in her wheelchair the last couple of days. She is VERY excited about the youth group coming to visit her on Sunday evening!!! She will be up in her wheelchair (tubes, bags & all) and will visit with everyone out on the 4th floor waiting room.
The estimated time for coming home is Tues or Wed and then she will be homebound from school til Jan - one of her teachers has volunteered to be her homebound teacher 3X's a week. We are hoping to be back in church in Dec and then back in school by Jan.
Looks like we will are on for Thanksgiving - out at the retreat center on Wednesday and maybe for a little while out at Harrah if Dara doesnt poop out.
For you NOT members of the Cherry/Burleson family - WATCH OPRAH on Wednesday and see our cousin - John McMonigle as he shows a house that he has listed at $75 million dollars!!!
TOO FUN!!!
Love you guys
and keep praying for Dara's quick and speedy recovery.

Thanks so much for the link to your blog. We will continue to pray for a speedy recovery for Dara and strength for you and Mike as you take care of her.
Hey....is it too late to back out of this weight loss thing....LOL!!! 9.5lbs. since the beginning....I just don't know what I am doing wrong. It's just not coming off....or my scales are wrong!!!!
Take care,
Margaret
She's a tough little girl! We had so much fun visiting with her the other night. I can't imagine what all she has been through, but she's such a trooper! I teased with her the other night that she is practically a dr. because she was telling them (dr & nurses) what to do. And the funny part is, she was usually right!
Keep us posted and please call if you need anything.
Love you. See you soon.
