Although this blog started out as a daily update on Chris Johnson's heart surgery, I am using it now to post about the happenings in my life since Chris died. You can email me at mjmj57@bellsouth.net.

Chris is stable, UK basketball has begun and the UK football team won another game, it was a fine day all around! We saw Chis several different times today-each time the nurses talked about how well he has done since his troubles yesterday. He is still very sedated, they want his heart and lungs to get a good rest. There were no major changes in any of his medications-that may begin late tomorrow, but probably on Monday. Carolyn's sister Lyland and her husband, Bill Gray have decided to take a road trip! They are on the way to Minnesota. They left Lexington this afternoon. It was a nice surprise when Lyland called and told us of their plans. I know Chris will be thrilled to see them as well when he wakes up. I talk to Allison and Emily daily, they are concerned about Chris, but it is a good feeling to know that they are continuing with their day to day life. Since Chris had such a rough time yesterday, we did not get a chance to explain to his nurse about the prayer quilt. We talked with her about it today and she suggested that we hung it on the curtain in his room for all to see. she put a sign on it explaining what it was and inviting those who come into his room to say a prayer and tie a knot.. Because of all of the machines and wires, we couldn't leave it at the foot of the bed. Now when he looks to the right he will be able to see the quilt and all of the prayers that have been tied into it for him. Please continue with the good thoughts and prayers for us. Take Care. MJ

Good morning!
The sun is shining bright in KY & I hope it is in Rochester as well. I made it from my bed to the blog and am relieved to hear the good news. Chris is making steady progress...I can't imagine how hard he has been working towards recovery. He deserves his sound sleep & will be even stronger when he awakes. May today be even brighter. Our love to all.
XOXO,
Carolyn and Reid
It is a beautiful day today. Hopefully it will be a great day for Chris. We are off to church & will pray for continued good progress for Chris. We will also pray for MJs backpack to turn up somewhere. It is still hard to believe that happened. Have a blessed Sunday!
We send our love to all of you,
Meg Casey, Jess, Joey & Jack
What a great time for good news after the last day of not so good. UK=WINS, Bill and Lyland driving the distance to visit, that should lift all your spirits and make home feel just a bit closer. Hopefully, that rough patch is now in the distant past and things will continue to improve both for Chris and for your backpack to re-appear... Let's hope it does, I'm sure you do as well... As always, in our thoughts and prayers.
We hope that today is a day of rest and strength for Chris.It is a quiet day in Cary. We are getting ready to watch the Bears and do some cleaning! Of course our thoughts are never far from Rochester! Take Care!
