It's frustrating without good therapy. Britney was in a lot more pain today. I bought her a bunch of heat packs and some icy hot and gave her some good massages. She loosened up during the day but had more pain in the afternoon and was just as contracted as she was when I started this morning. A physical medicine/rehab doctor was going to come today but didn't. Hopefully he will come tomorrow. They have very few in Tucson. Hopefully he can offer something to help her loosen up and be in less pain. In Wisconsin our PM&R docs did a lot of injections to loosen up muscles. She is still having trouble tolerating her G-tube feedings but is making progress. She hasn't had a fever in a few days. The next big thing we have to get her over is to help her get rid of her contractures and pain from her muscles. For all of you who want to write something to britney but haven't been able to post on the blog you can sent me an email at winklerj87@yahoo.com and I will read it to her. Several of her friends and family have done this and she has listened to the letters and looked at us while we read to her. Thanks for your continuing support and love.

God hears every prayer of His children. I am sending many prayers for Britney for relief from her pain, as well as a total recovery and restoration to her family. Prayers for you, John -- please know that we send you our love and support. What a blessing you are to your wife and children. And also, prayers for the children -- I'm sure they are confused and sad that their mommy isn't home with them. Please know that people of many faiths are praying for all of you, and these prayers will not return void. Take care, and God Bless! Katherine
