Hello everyone, This should be Neil's last Friday night in Baptist South. The plan continues to be for him to go to Health South Monday. He has had a good day. He was up in the chair for about 4 hours. Also, he took 3-4 steps getting there. The infectious disease doctor came by and said he wanted Neil on Zyvox for 6 weeks. The orthopedist came by and will x-ray Neil's leg Sunday. The orthopedist said he continues to be concerned about the infection in Neil's leg. He did say Neil was "winning" right now. We love the fact that Neil is winninig. Please pray for Neil's lungs and leg. I did not include Neil's breathing as you all have prayed Neil breathing into great shape.

We saw Shanna (I have been spelling her name incorrectly) and her family. Her mom said the doctors think Shanna should go to a nursing home to continue waking up. The rationale is that Shanna would not reap all the benefits from Spain until she is consistently able to respond to commands. They have family who works in a nursing home here in Montgomery and will consider this as well as other options. Please continue to pray for the full recovery of Shanna.

Please pray for the full recovery of Jayme Gardner. She is from Troy and is here having some tests. Her sweet family loves her so much.

Thanks so very much for your love and support. Happy Friday to all!!!!
