Hi Everyone!!! Teddi is out of surgery! Her surgery was at 9am and the doctor who performed the surgery called me at 9:43 to say she was done. He said they found the shunt right away and that everything went great. He also said they did a liver biopsy. She arrived at the hosptial this morning all dressed in her UT sweater and bow and they all loved it! I told them it was to show her school spirit for the school who is going to save her life! The doctor said she is in ICU right now and they will call me this afternoon to give me more of an update. Thank you all for your prayers!!!

OH and I found a whole new world here!! Aparently there is East Knoxville and West Knoxville and the people in the East don't know that the whole West side exists. When I dropped Teddi off this morning I asked at the hospital where I could go for breakfast and she told me to go past the hospital and about 5 miles down the road....well on the way there were beautiful mansions and every restaurant you could imagine along with all the shopping you would ever want. After breakfast I went across the street to a giant mall and walked all around the mall. I guess Knoxville is not so small after all but I would swear the people who live here in East Knoxville don't even know that there is a West Knoxville. I asked last nite at the grocery store where a book store was and two people told me that it closed and there was only a used book store but that "it was a nice book store"....well I just got back from Borders which was across the street from the mall. I guess they have never ventured over there.
