Day 1

Today was a tough day, as was expected, because James is recovering from yesterday's surgery. Whenever he wakes up he has had some painful spasms that make him quite upset requiring some attention from the pain team here in St. Louis. However, he is recovering well. James has been able to drink some apple juice and eat a peanut butter sandwich already.

We're thankful to have Heather Ann and James (Ali's parents) here to care for Shae while we are at the hospital with James Michael. It was nice to have them stop by for a visit this morning.
