LANDSTUHL, GERMANY -- Rescued POW Jessica Lynch has gotten one of her wishes -- to eat apple sauce. It was one of the foods she asked for after being taken to a U.S. military hospital in Germany for treatment.

Lynch has enjoyed three visits with her family since they arrived in Germany on Sunday, and her spirits are said to be good. Her parents brought her a white teddy bear with a red, white and blue ribbon.

A spokeswoman for the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center says Lynch had another surgery Sunday to clean wounds. Besides eating apple sauce, she is drinking plenty of fruit juice, but it seems the turkey and steamed carrots she craves will have to wait.

Lynch was rescued from an Iraqi hospital last week by U.S. forces. She was taken prisoner after her unit took a wrong turn and was ambushed by Iraqi troops.
