Update

Several people have asked how my Aunt Margo is doing since their car accident (See blog post "3am phone call") as well as how my Uncle Nick is doing in Afghanistan (See blog post "Hero"). So I thought I'd take a few minutes to provide you with an update. First, thanks for asking. We know a lot of people have added them to their prayers and you know what, that makes a BIG difference.

 Aunt Margo is a walking miracle - the walking part is a pretty big deal. At her last doctor's appointment he told her she was doing much better than they could have hoped and that no second surgery would be needed. He also told her she'd be getting moved into a soft neck brace sooner than expected. Here's a picture of her with her current neck "accessory." If you ask her how's she's doing she'll say she has no complaints and just goes on and on about how lucky she is...and I agree. We all feel pretty blessed to still have her. She posted her own blog about the car accident http://lybbfam.blogspot.com/  in case you want to check it out - it's appropriately titled "miracles." So I guess I need to get this walking stuff down so Aunt Margo and I can go for a walk really soon.

As for Uncle Nick, he sends us weekly updates and they always make us laugh. The latest update included pictures from their Thanksgiving. Apparently he decided to serve the troops ice cream - and he even wore a soda jerk hat....hmm, so many jokes here, but I'll just let you fill in the possible punchlines. Anyway, he continues to fix up the hurt soldiers and is meeting lots of cool people. We sure are lucky to have him too!

So keep the prayers and well wishes coming and before you know it, Aunt Margo will be back on her bike and Uncle Nick will be back in the U.S.
