Our Last Day At Shepherd, 11:55 PM, January 22, 2006

January 10, 2006 was Asher's last day of out-patient therapy at Shepherd Spinal Center, as well as our last day in Atlanta. Our lease on the apartment we were renting ran out the same day so we headed back to Chattanooga as soon as asher finished all his therapy sessions and he/we went around and said goodbye to everyone (pictures below).

As many of you have probably figured out there have been no recent updates, because we are trying to make the transition(s) now that we are back in Chattanooga. In fact, that is why we did not even announce when we were coming back. We just wanted to arrive back in town unwithout drawing any attention to ourselves. having lived in atlanta for six and a half months, as much as we couldn't wait to get home, we also did not know what to expect as far as what life would look life without being at the hospital all day four and a half days a week. especially since our house is still not ready, and probably won't be ready before the middle of february. so, until then, we are living in a very familiar setting, a hotel.

hopefully, i will be able to give a more detailed update by weeks end. blessings to you all for continuing to keep us in your prayers. truly, i don't know where we would be without them.

the following are pictures of many of those at shepherd that we have grown to dearly love as family. it was so hard saying goodbye that at one point gloria just couldn't take it any more and had to leave and wait for us in the van.
