update on the life and times of l and g johnson

We've had a good week. Lloyd is walking with a walker 6-8 feet now. It's still a lot of work and requires 2-3 people--one on each side and one bringing the wheelchair. The consultant fromLeon Peters Rehab came on Thursday to assess him for placement sometime in the next few weeks. It's still iffy, but we continue to work on our goals and aspirations. One day at a time. Thanks for all your love and prayers--they do work and I feel stronger every day!--Love Georgeanna

Welcome to the family our new addition--Minnow

We added a stray kitten to the family this last week. He wandered into the nursing home where Lloyd is and caught everyone's attention. They needed a home and I said--maybe????? Well, it seems he's become a fixture, and is getting along quite well with Bailey--Zoey is another story! And you say why the name?? We had to keep the "tradition" going, and this kitten has one large "motor"!! Just for the record--"He" will soon be an "it"! Georgeanna

Christmas time with the family

I know this a little delayed, but Katie had to get the pictures on this blog. We had a wonderful Christmas, even if Grandad was in the hospital, still. He continues to progress every day and is now taking a few steps with a walker. It's a lot of work, but he's getting there. Even more exciting--weight has dropped to 298--it's been a long time since he's weighed under 300! The dietary consultant (who has a weight problem) asked how he did it and he said, "Hospital food!"

We continue to count our blessings and the small steps that add up to the bigger picture. Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts. So glad to have so many of you checking on us--Love, Georgeanna
