Update from Joel (on the 4th of July)

Another quick update on Mom - I just spoke with Barry and she's feeling better today than yesterday and did indeed have some soup, some jello and had the catheter removed - she's not big but she's scrappy! It normally takes a few days for the stomach to come out of the shock but she seems to be ahead of schedule. More walking today as that's the best thing for recovery. We keep her posted on everyone asking and checking in on her - it makes a big difference!

On the baby front - no news yet. Melissa is doing well and we're all ready when our little boy (Jacob Samuel) is ready to make his debut!

Happy 4th and love to all, Joel

Hi - glad to hear each day is better than the previous one.
We had a glorious day yesterday at the Jersey shore - friends own a house right next to the beach, so we walked on the boardwalk (3 miles), and ate the rest of the day with people who are friends since the late 40's. When I say OLD friends, I mean it both ways!

Tomorrow is a big day for both of us...Jacob Samuel is due, and our Justin, our youngest, will be 10. Great day for the world!

Let us know how you are doing and how Melissa is doing. Love, Bobbi & Barry.

Please tell Marline she is doing great and we are proud. I have printed up the blog to share in exercise class today.

Hugs, Susan
