This update is early because I know many of you want to know about Debbie's trip to Shepherd Center in Atlanta. Just in............We will be going to Atlanta next Wednesday, Jan. 4. Debbie will be admitted as inpatient for approximately two weeks and then go to outpatient status for possibly two weeks. These times could be lengthened or shortened due to her progress or needs. I will remain in Atlanta with her and attend some classes at Shepherd. Our Lord has guided us well in Deb's journey and I feel He has made it possible for her to have had and continue to have the best.
Debbie and I also enjoyed a great Christmas at her parents home in Franklin last Sat. and Sun. with all Deb's immediate family present except one granddaughter who visited her yesterday. Today we had lunch out and Debbie had her hair washed and styled which she seemed to thoroughly enjoy. (Looks much better than when I do it)
She has really done well this week with therapy 3 days and two nurse visits.
We cherish your prayers and praise our Lord Jesus for his love and care.
Deb and I wish each of you a very blessed New Year!

Update on Debbie...Friday, Dec. 23, 2011.......by Charlie
Our Debbie has had a great week, and what a week!
First, Debbie attended church at Lantana Road Baptist and what a blessing it was to see her enjoying the service and her church family. God is so good.
Second, on Monday the CT scan results came and were the same as last month so the shunt implant is still working properly. Third, on Tuesday Debbie had a road trip to her primary care physician and then to her dentist in Crossville with a stop at the bank where she worked and another at Long John Silvers before returning to Cookeville NHC. She really enjoyed the day.
And finally, on Wednesday Debbie came home. She still must have care 24/7 but she is, as she says, in her real home. Praise the Lord! It's so good to have her here.
Today, we went out to eat and visited her bank's main office to enjoy a visit with her co-workers.
Tomorrow we plan to drive to Franklin, TN for Christmas with Deb's family. She has never missed a Christmas at her Mom and Dad's house in her life and I'm sure this will be the best one.
Plans are that Debbie will go to Shepherd Center in Atlanta in the early part of January for more therapy. We will probably be there at least a month.
Thanks for all your prayers these past months and for your continued prayers that all with go well with this new therapy and for Debbie's continued healing.
May God bless each or you and may you have a blessed CHRISTmas! We love you all!!!

Weekly Update on Debbie.... Sat. December 17, 2011....by Charlie
Debbie has had a good week. There is not much to report with several issues not finalized, however she continues doing well with her therapy with no set-backs.
Deb had a CT scan on Thursday with no results yet. She has an appointment with her primary care physician this Tuesday. We hope he will approve home healthcare so she can come home later in the week and finally, Shepherd Center of Atlanta's representative favorably evaluated Debbie this past Tuesday but we will not know if she is accepted until the first of the week.
So, lots of things going on and decisions to be made. Thank you for your prayers on these issues.
I plan to bring Debbie to our church service tomorrow. This will be her first time back at church and she seems excited about it......I know I am!
We wish you all a blessed week.

Debbie's Update......December11, 2011....by Charlie
Our Debbie has had another good week, mostly uneventful, but still making progress.
An auto ride had been planned for yesterday (Sat) but when Deb felt the cold air at the doorway, she decided "we'll not go today".
Lots of important decisions soon to be made concerning Shepherd Center in Atlanta and Deb's coming home so be in prayer that they are made correctly. Will keep you updated when these occur. We thank you so much for your continued prayers for Deb's healing.
Debbie and I want to wish each of you a very safe, happy and blessed Christmas season as we celebrate our Savior's birth.

Debbie's Update....December 3, 2011.............by Charlie
Debbie has had a great week.........Lots of therapy and no setbacks this week. You who visit her see this and know how much she enjoys your company and conversation. Her smiling face and wonderful attitude are certainly the bright spots in my day.
Our Lord continues to bless us with her continued improvement and we give Him all the praise and glory for it.
Deb and I have had a good evening. When I left her at 8:30 tonight, she was involved in watching "It's A Wonderful Life". Guess she is ready for Christmas.
May you all have a blessed week.
