12:00PM-CDT: Another photo update! Thanks Sally!

Amy got hot food 7 miles out of Ulysses, she had a championship breakfast, including raman noodle, hot chocolate, pancake and sausage.  She took 20mins catnap. David adjusted her seat, the seat Michelle and David made for her took her pain away.  She likes it very much.  Will get a pic of the seat later.  She looks great!  -Sally
