Just a quick update on my cousin.  She has pulled through the surgery okay     but she still is in intensive care which is normal after this kind of surgery.  The doctors are optimistic but it is going to be a very long recovery for her since she will need to learn how to talk all over again.   She had a very rough day today and can't swallow yet which means she can't eat.  They are going to have to insert a feeding tube tomorrow.  I would really appreciate it if you would continue to keep her in your prayers.   This is going to be a very slow recovery over the coming months.  I feel so bad for her having to go through this and her immediate family is having a hard time as well .
