Jodi and Grandma Lisenbee's "Prayer Bear" that recites The Lord's Prayer. From this side Jodi looks completely normal!
Jodi's Mom (Sherri) blow drying Jodi's hair after her first shower.
Tolan and Jodi laughing as Tolan is taking pictures of the incision area.
The question mark scar complete with staples! She really did have brain surgery!
Trying to smile when only one half of her facial muscles are working. This is one of the really tough parts of this experience.
Some restful sleep even though she can't get her eyelid to close. With all she's going through she is keeping her positive outlook, is bolstered by your faith and prayers and looks forward to a day in the future when things will be normal once again!

Jodi I am so proud of you and the positive outlook you have had through all of this trying experience.You are blessed with so many friends and family who will continue to support, love and help you the next several weeks/months of recovery! Sending you much love and aloha :)
Good luck Jodi! Get feeling better. Your pictures are sad. We hope we see you soon. Love, Avery Hall
Jodi-I showed my girls your pictures, and they were touched. You are one tough girl. We hope you feel our love down in Salt Lake. We will wait til you are home and feeling a little better to come visit. All is well at home in Riverdale. Love, Annette
GREAT NEWS! I'm glad you're doing better! The pictures are pretty gnarly, but that will all fade in no time!
All you need is a trip to the cabin or Hawaii... heck, after all this you can go anywhere you want! Take a year off! :)
I'm really relieved that things are looking positive! It's all down hill from here!
Hey beautiful! I love you a ton. Stay strong. I'm praying for you.
I'll see you soon.
Awesome news to know it was low-grade. Of course we had to expect recovery would be the hardest part. I mean, it's not rocket science, but it IS brain surgery!
Hang in there. Someday you'll have a great story to write about--or share with your grandkids.
