9:15 p.m. - Lisa returned from surgery, and will be kept heavily sedated for a while so she can rest. The surgeon is still hopeful he can save her leg, he said "we haven't used all of our bag of tricks yet". He reminds us of Dr. House, if you've ever watched that tv show. He had a motorcycle crash 3 years ago and had to go through some intense surgery on his leg too. He cleaned the wound again, and put some more drains in her leg and arm. Several of your messages tonight talked about Lisa's determination and you could not be more right. She's got the right attitude to overcome all odds, and she is prepared for whatever God's will is for her. There is a young man in a wheelchair named Donny who is about to have his 20th surgery on his leg, he was involved in a car crash in 2002 and has such a positive outlook on life. His spirit is very similar to Lisa's. They have talked briefly but plan to talk more when she is feeling better. Keep both of them in your prayers. Lisa is scheduled for another surgery on Monday at 3 p.m., provided the muscle flaps are good.

7:15 p.m. - Lisa was taken into surgery around 5:30pm. The physical therapists were here earlier this morning and had her stand up on her good leg. It was extremely painful, but she got through it. Between the physical therapist's exercise and the surgery today, she is going to feel like she was hit by a train - again. She appreciates all of you who have taken the time out of your busy lives to come and see her. Right now while she is undergoing multiple surgeries and would greatly appreciate it if you could come during the visitation hours listed below, or call the hospital first to ensure she is not in surgery, out for tests, or resting. She needs adequate time to recouperate between surgeries, visitors, and unexpected events. Also, she does not want for you to come here and then not get to see her.

Visitation hours:
9am - 11am
2pm - 5pm
8pm - 9pm
