Good Morning Chalupa!

First, to those of you anxious to visit Chalupa, she'll probably need another day or two of rest and recovery. At this point, she is in and out, and still in a great deal of pain. So we respectfully ask folks to wait until Sunday, before you stop by. She's in room 86 in JCP2 (John Colloton Pavillion).

All went well last night with only a few hiccups. The bed she is in is calibrated to measure her weight. Unfortunately, when she was weighed at 4:00, she seemed to have mysteriously gained 10 lbs! Naturally I was overjoyed that any member of our family could put on that kind of weight, but the nurse(s) did not agree.
So here (above) we see a team of nurses carefully lifting Chalupa at 4:30 this morning to re-set the scale on the bed. And must to my consternation and amazement, the 10 lbs she magically gained... magically disappeared. POOF... just like that. What was I thinking? I mean Weinstein is good at spinal fusions, but not a miracle working in helping the kid put on some needed pounds.
Oh, and here is a picture of her "Sponge Pop". Not much to look at really, but Chalupa really seems to like it. I soak it in the sink and she'll chew and suck through three of them every two hours or so.

Glad to hear surgery went well and the road to recovery is underway. Looking forward to this being a distant memory for the Taylor clan.
