We just wanted to give you and update of how Georgie is doing. Dr.'s have said she is doing very, very well and she is running ahead of schedule. She has been in physical and occupational therapy and is doing all they ask of her. Momma said to tell you all she was able to walk today all the halls making a big square with the aid of a walker. She will have to be in her neck brace for the next 3 months, but has been disconnected from most of the tubes.

The girls and I have kept a 24 hour watch and she has not killed any of us yet. Of course she has been heavily medicated. We have been patient with the patient!!

We thank all of you who have been praying for us and it has been a real testimony to those who have been in and out of her room. We have also met several Christians here. Our anticipation here is that she will be released Friday, Saturday or Sunday...we are all taking bets on the date.

Thank-you again for all of you praying for us it has been a real encouragement to us. Through the blog counter we have been able to see people who have said they were praying from countries around the world. Momma said "It it the most humbling experience to think they would stop and pray for me, but I am very grateful for all the prayers. And please don't stop praying yet I still have a long road ahead to healing."

We look forward to being back in Charlotte soon and again thank-you...thank-you...thank-you

Lowell & Georgie

Spanish translation of the Blog to follow:

Simplemente queremos darles un informe y decirles la condición de Gerogie actual. Los médicos nos dices que todo va muy bien y que la recuperación a sobre pasado expectativas. Ella ha estado en terapia física y ocupacional y ha hecho todo lo que le dicen. Mama quiere que sepan que hoy pudo caminar con la ayuda de un carrito por los corredores del hospital. Necesita tener protector de cuello por los próximos tres meses pero lo bueno es que ya no esta conectada a ningún aparato medico.

Las chicas e yo hemos estado cuidándole 24 horas al día y hemos sobrevivido, pueda ser que la razón, ha estado bajo la influencia de la medicina…Hemos tenido mucho paciencia con la paciente.

Queremos agradecer a cada uno de ustedes por orar por nosotros, ha sido un gran testimonio para todos lo que han entrado y salido de su habitación. De la misma forma, hemos conocido a grandes creyentes aquí. Nuestra anticipación es que le darán de alta el viernes, sábado o domingo…estamos recibiendo apuestas y ver quien gana.

Una vez más, gracias por sus oraciones, han sido de mucho aliento para nosotros. A través del “Blog” hemos tenido la oportunidad de leer lo que muchos dicen dejando palabras de aliento de literalmente alrededor del mundo. Mama dice “esta ha sido una experiencia que he recibido con humildad al saber que muchos ha tomado tiempo para orar por mi, pero estoy agradecida por todas las oraciones. Por favor, no dejen de orar, todavía el camino a la recuperación es largo.”

Esperamos con anticipación nuestro regreso a Charlotte muy pronto. Gracias, gracias, gracias.

Lowell y Gerogie

  2. Alright, since you're taking bets on Georgie's release date...I'm in.

    Let's see, could be Friday since she's doing so well, but Dr's. are like engineers...they like to "keep an eye on things" and tweak them up. So, Friday's probably out.

    Sunday's too far away with all of her progress, though they may want to keep you guys around as long as they can to brighten up the place...nah!

    Saturday. My money's on Saturday.

    We're still praying!

  3. They always want a good poop out of you before they release you ... wait, maybe that's only for abdominal surgeries :-) Anyway, I agree with Jason; my money is also on Saturday (not that we are doing any Christian gambling around here). We miss all of you here at BBN and look forward to your return to Charlotte.

    Much Prayer,
    Lydia

  4. Wonderful! Glad to hear she is running ahead of schedule, but who could doubt it, all the prayers are whisking her above every earthly expectation! God Bless!
