Update

Dad's continuing to improve. He's getting his voice back...with a little surly attitude to go with it. "Let's go" he says. "Where John?" "Home." "No, John, you need to get a little better first." Shi# and Son of a bi#$% are his favorite responses of choice. Disorientation is normal, but the nurses are going to try to get him off of morophine and on some other pain medications to help with that. He's eating normal food and the goals for today are to get out of ICU and to really work on his breathing. I'm headed back to CO. Jerry and Kraig and Mom will take it from here. Thanks to everyone for your continued support! - Kalie

    Wonderful news! Kalie, can't thank you enough for the blog. It has been wonderful to be able to track John's progress. We check all day long. Bless all of you kids and especially Karen for all the love and support you give to John. He's a lucky guy. (not counting having to have the surgery.) Toni

    There's the Kerr spirit we all love! Keep it up Purple! Thanks for the blog Kalie, it's great to have some updates on John's status. By the way, Ducks are a lock for the Civil War victory, GO DUCKS!

    Hey, John, did you intentionally decide to spice up all your family and our lives the week the Beavers have a bye?
    We are so glad to hear how you are coming along. PLEASE do as your doctors suggest. Ahem, JK! Lots of prayer wrapping you.
    Thanks, Kalie, for keeping us current. Many hugs! All the Lauderdales
