Our trip to Georgia was great...as far as the reunion goes.  We were able to see cousins, aunts and uncles we hadn't seen in years...some 40 years!  We saw the place where our house once stood when we lived there.  (A very special neighbors house was still there.)  We also saw where our brother and grandparents were buried.  Three of my sisters were there...Jennie, of course, who now lives with us, Theresa, with her family, from Alabama and Pam, our baby sister from SC, with her caretaker, Doris. 

I was sad that my family there in Georgia never got to know Terry as he was.

The trip was very hard on Terry.  He was very uncomfortable after we left Georgia, so we stopped in Alabama for two nights so he could sleep a whole day.  Then we took two more days to drive home so he wouldn't have to stay up so long.

I had already started feeding him through his feeding tube some before we left, now it's all the time.  Today, however he did eat a few bites of food.

He's been in bed most of the this past week, just getting up a few minutes at a time.  He does seem to be getting a little stronger, but slowly.  Hopefully, I'll have better news to report in a few days.

Please keep him in your prayers.

Terry is staying about the same...  He's eating part of the time, but still have to give him liquid food through his feeding tube some. 
He has leg braces now to help extend his legs.  We'll just use them a few minutes each day and build up to a couple of hours.  He didn't seem to mind them at all. 

Yesterday I got him to say "Good Morning"  after much prompting.  So far today, not a word.

We're off to Georgia for a family reunion tomorrow!  The second time for me in 40 years!  I'm anxious to see extended family again!  Two of my sisters will be there, also!

I wish the Sheltons (my Dad's people) could have known Terry before...

Please keep Terry in your prayers.  We're not seeing much improvement this week.  He's still not using his hands or talking.  We're ready for a turn around!  He was doing so well.  I guess it takes a while for any of us to build back strength after being sick, so we should expect it will take longer for him...

Terry seems to feel much better.  However, he's not talking or using his hands.  It's so sad to see this again, but we're still hopeful he'll begin to improve.  So, for now, I'm thankful he's no longer sick. 

We started off the week with Church...actually made it to the early service...8:30am!  Afterwards lunch at Cracker Barrel, then a long nap!  We went out several times during the week, each time he seemed to enjoy just looking around...he especially likes crossing the lake!  There's a huge one just south of us that we cross on the way to Dallas, and we drove to Dallas twice this week.

I'm on the phone with a friend and she wanted to tell Terry "Good Morning", so I put her on speaker and when she said it Terry responded with "Good Morning"!  The first time in days!!!

We're going to see Captain America this afternoon....taking our grandsons. :)

Another slow week for Terry...he's really having a hard time getting over this.  He started a new antiobiotic yesterday, so hopefully we'll begin to see some real improvement.

He's been very quiet, hasn't fed himself, spoken only a word or two here and there.  However, he slept well last night so I'm expecting a great day for him today! 

We've been in all week, so we'll keep staying in out of the heat (over 100 everyday!) and let him build his strength back up. 

Please keep him in your prayers, as always.  We appreciate each of you!

Terry is still feeling under the weather...has a cold, or allergies.  He rested a lot this past week.  Although we did keep up with the therapy.  I do believe he's getting a little better.  He had chicken soup a couple of times and lots of sleep! 

This evening we stayed home and watched fireworks on tv.  That was a first!  But he did seem to enjoy it...even tried to sing along with some of the patriotic songs. :)

This past week was busy!  Terry made progress with his body strength, sitting alone longer.  We're still having a lot of difficulty with his legs.  It'll be a long journey getting them straight, I think.  Some days he seems to really try, others not so much.  He hasn't felt great this week, slept a lot, very quiet.

He loves to go but it really tires him out.  I took him out for breakfast yesterday and he didn't speak the entire time.  After, we drove around looking at houses.  He was so quiet!

This morning we went to worship service, out to lunch and he's back in bed.  Maybe it's the heat...it has been around 100 every day!  Anyway, please keep him in your prayers.  He's still making progress, just a little each day!
