Way to go Wakat! At this rate you will be back to South by next week, just kidding. Take all the time you need. We had a very smooth week because you prepared us all so well. The students say "hi, wakat, wawa, waki". Much love and virtual hugs, Deb C :)

Great news! It won't be long before she goes in to pure Wakat mode and starts organizing the nurses and their work! (and will probably have them running more efficiently) Gotta love her!

Dear Lori and Family,
I am so glad to hear surgery went well and you are doing well. I pray that your recovery continues in such a positive manner. You seem to have such a fantastic attitude, which has to help.
I am the special education teacher from Indiana, and you signed my guestbook the day before your surgery. I am sorry I didn't see it until today. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I will be following your recovery closely. Take care and God bless you!

Hey Lori,
Glad to hear that your surgery went well - everyone is very concerned about you here at South. A few recommendations for your Nook: House Rules by Jodi Piccoult (awesome book regarding a teen with autism and I couldn't put it down) and of course my all time favorite by Pat Conroy - The Prince of Tides - in fact, I love anything he writes....the man has a way with words! Hope you get some well-deserved rest and we'll be praying for a speedy recovery!
