Dear friends and family -



Thanks for visiting Georgia's page! As most of you know, Georgia had been struggling with worsened seizures since January 2010. She subsequently underwent seizure surgery which resulted in a functional hemispherectomy on July 21st at Denver Children's Hospital. We really appreciate all of the kind thoughts and prayers that you have showered on her (and us!) - please keep them coming! We hope this website/blog can be an easy way for us to keep everyone informed on how Georgia is doing. Bare with us...we're new at this!


Love - Rick and Alicia

...videos! Will keep this post short, to leave room for videos. Great day again today. More confidence with walking, and lots more walking overall. We're doing laps around the unit with all of the nurses, docs and CAs cheering her on. The other highlight of the day - Georgia being able to recall what she had for lunch. Again, this seems so simple, but she was never able to report back such prior events due to her seizures. These little victories really mean the world to us.

Clark and Gravina kids...here are your videos :)


Walking with some velocity


Fiercely independent (listen to the PT - Georgia is pushing her hand away)


Puzzle scavenger hunt



And a photo to end on - playing our new favorite toy with Gram. Thanks Schwager's!
