TUESDAY GOODNIGHT UPDATE (11/20, 10:30pm)
November 20, 2007
Hello Julia’s Army. Julia had an uneventful evening. We just switched back to the CPAP breathing mask to help her respiratory. We knew coming into this surgery that Julia’s respiratory would be one of her biggest hurdles. She will get there. She begged for Wendy’s fries tonight (there is a Wendy’s restaurant in the hospital) but told her she cannot have solid food yet. Still waiting for the digestive system to wake up. We will work hard tomorrow to make some progress. Hoping Julia gets a good, long rest tonight.
Dad and John returned from the UNC basketball game after 9:30pm. The Tarheels blew out an overmatched opponent, SC State. It was fun to watch. Dad promised Julia that he will bring her to a game in early 2008.
Tomorrow marks one week ago that Julia had her surgery. We are all thankful that the past week is behind us. It has been one of those long roads for Julia this year as we planned and prepared for this surgery and canceled and postponed the surgery in June and September. We know that the postponements were the right thing to do given the improvement in her health and 20% weight gain. We would change nothing now looking back. We will update everyone again tomorrow and let you know how Julia is progressing. Thanks again for your gifts to Julia, as we said before your gifts of love, prayer and support have been overwhelming and priceless. Harry & Regina

Julias Army is always pulling for her to continue to progress. You are inspiring and the ‘Heels are part of your Army. We will continue to pray for continued recovery for you, Julia. We are keeping Micah in our prayers and PJ as well. May you have a long restful evening of sleep and may your mother and father get some rest too. Let God grant your brothers and sister the strength to stay strong and focused as they work on their schooling and may you too return to school soon. We know you many friends cannot wait to see you. We hope to see you soon. Take care General Julia, we love you!
