Mom’s home for her birthday!

Today is Mom’s birthday……. And she is celebrating with us at home in Augusta, Georgia! We are super thankful to God that she is well enough to be home, and of course she is very glad about it.

As y’all know, Mom was in Jacksonville, Florida for approx. 10-months for medical treatment at Mayo Clinic Hospital and Brooks Rehab Hospital. Our family would not have been able to make those biweekly roadtrips to be with her there without the donations y’all made for Mom. We cannot thank y’all enough for that!

We are not having to do those frequent trips now, but there will still be travels to Florida in our future. Mom has several follow up appointments at Mayo Clinic with her specialty doctors (neurology, infectious disease, and more), as well having the procedure there to remove her feeding tube. She also hopes to travel back to Brooks Rehab for periodic outpatient physical therapy there because they are just so top-notch with their methods, attitude, and resources. At home, Mom is on a lot of medicine to knock out infections, and those treatments are supposed to continue for at least a year. We also have various medical supplies to stay stocked up on since she uses them on a daily basis. So if you still feel compelled to donate to her from time to time, it will most definitely help her here at home, too.

But more than this, we ask that you PLEASE KEEP ON PRAYING for Mom! We praise God for what all He has done for her. It is so evident how He has helped her. But there’s still a lot that we are praying for God to bring to pass. Mom still needs to relearn how to walk and be able to take of herself again. We need God to keep on strengthening her, to defeat infections, to shield her from all harm, to take pain away, to keep on healing her and getting her better, to get her back to helping and serving others, to get her back to playing all of her musical instruments……. So please keep on praying for God to restore Mom’s health and life for His glory. Thank y’all for standing by us through all of this! We thank God for y’all.
