Good Afternoon Folks,

I'm really looking forward to going to Elba tomorrow. I'll be stopping by SanBuck to see everybody and that will be fun.

Rehab went very well this morning. I really felt like I worked pretty hard and really feel like I'm getting stronger. The support you guys keep giving me really helps and makes me want to keep working hard. THANKS.

Rene Wambles, Ronnie and Ramona's daughter, graduated with me. Her husband is going through the fight for his life right now. Ben Wilks? is at UAB and is basically having the same lung problems I had. I will try to find out more and will do my best to keep you updated.

Fins Up,

Neil,
I read the sweetest letter from you today in The Elba Clipper! You are very much loved and the prayers that were sent up for you the past months came straight from everyone's heart and God heard them and answered them. You fought hard and won with a family who never gave up! Your story is indeed an inspiration!! Your progress continues to amaze us all. Take care! Jama Lewis Walker

I have enjoyed reading the blog and keeping up with your progress. It is so wonderful that you are getting to do your rehab on an outpatient basis. Keep up the good work.

I wanted to let you know about Ben Wilks. He is in the MICU at UAB. The latest info is that he had an MRI today which I understand showed nothing. I'm not really in a position to know what they were looking for. He is to have a CAT scan tomorrow. They are at the point of weaning him from the respirator. Please everyone pray for a miracle for Ben and Rene.

Hey there,
I'll be out of town on vacation for a week so I wanted to make sure I touched base with you. I'm sure when I get back there will be a lot of catching up to do. Keep hanging in there sweetie, I'll be thinking about you.
Love you
