Hey Everybody,
I just wanted to let you know that rehab this morning was beyond great. When I got there we had so to a small re-evaluation since I've been gone a while, mostly to see what I lost. I was a little stiff at my stump, but my overall strength was maintained. That shocked us all. After the eval, we walked a little, then biked some, and lastly we walked a little more. This is not going to be as big a problem as I thought of getting back in the routine. I think we are pretty much starting back where we left off. Talk to you later.

Good Afternoon,
I hope you all had a great weekend. I sure sure did with the way the Tide just dominated the Dawgs in Athens. Friday night Dad and I had a great time at "The Camp" and I had a chance to see my good friend Katie V. Harbin. The food and the fellowship couldn't have been better. Overall it was just a great weekend.
Today Dad and I had a great lunch with Reese as she was coming through "The Gump". After that I had a Dr. Appt, surprise surprise. I had the drain removed from my abdomen without having to have a CT Scan. That was a wonderful surprise. Also I was cleared for rehab, so I will start that tomorrow and we are very excited and I am pumped to go.
That's really all I have.

Good Afternoon Everybody,
The last 2 days have been fairly busy for us. Yesterday I got my haircut and had a chance to talk to those wild women in the barber shop. After that Mom and I had some lunch at Down the Street Cafe, if you never been I strongly recommend giving it a try. Later in the afternoon I went to see the wound Doc and he fixed me up. Today Mom, D, and myself had a great meal at the Street Cafe. I know it's close, but 2 different places. Then Mom and I went to see Mrs. Sue at John Knox, she looks wonderful and seems to be doing great. They are such a great family and I just love them all.
I am now packing to try to spend a weekend in the big town and watch the Bama game with Dad.
I do want to send our love out to Mrs. Susan and Mr. Tad Bowman as they lost Mr. Tad's mother on Wednesday. They have been so great to us during my ordeal and all we can do is pray and let them know we are thinking of them.
I hope everybody has a great weekend.

Hey Guys,
Dad came today to hang out with me and as usual we had a great time. We solved most of the world's problems and talked some football. That was really the extent of the day, it was pretty slow as most of you can tell. Tomorrow Lucia Gayle is coming and I have a Dr. appt to go to later in the day and I might get a haircut. I'm sorry but I really don't have anything new to tell, which I guess is a good thing. I hope all is well with all of you. Please let D and I know if we can help with anything. I am forever indebted to everyone. See you later.

Hey Guys,
We made it home around 4:30 this afternoon. It's great to be home. We finally saw my Doc late last night and he said everything was looking better. I will go back next week to see him. Thank you all so much for keeping us in your prayer, you really don't know what it means.
Bama looked pretty good Saturday, but not great. I'm glad we weren't playing Georgia or somebody like that because I think we would have a lot more trouble. I hope this week those guys are ready to play. Auburn looked better and really had their chance to win the game.
I hope everybody had a great weekend and maybe the week is turning out well.

Good morning from Baptist South, The doctor came by late last night. He said the infection was caused by bacteria and Neil could be treated by oral antibiotics. He said Neil should be able to go home today or tomorrow. The doctor also said Neil should be able to start back to rehab Monday. All of this is grand news!!!!!! We will keep you posted.
Thanks so much for your prayers, love and support.

Good morning Folks, Neil is doing well. He is not on the 6th floor, but rather on the 4th. (This is a new experience as he has been on the 6th floor since he has been at Baptist South.) The abscess was drained on Friday and they left a drainage tube in his abdomen. He is on IV antibiotics. Neil has not had any temperature. Our prayer is the infection has been stopped in its tracks. We are waiting to see the doctor. Hope you all had a good weekend and are having a good Monday.
Thanks so very much for your prayers, love and support.
