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

home life

It's amazing how much more there is to do at home than the hospital! It sure was nice to have our room cleaned daily, therapy for Georgia right down the hall and food delivered right to us, even though it was hospital food :) Being home has not left much time or energy for the blogging, but we wanted to get a quick post up today.

Weekend highlights included some trike riding in the neighborhood, reconnecting with our friends, neighbors and folks at church, some exercise for us old parents and finished off with a certain couple's 7th anniversary. Thanks Lisa for watching the girls so we could head out for an early dinner to celebrate. Sushi Den = yum.

Georgia is doing great at home. It's really been exciting to see how much more even-tempered she is and how much more she attends to her play and us. After some wobbily first steps, she's now walking pretty confidently around the house - even climbed the front stairs, all 14 of them, on her own before we realized it. Nice work G, but let us know next time :)

Some more photos below from the last day at the hospital, w/a little hint of what's to come in the videos below... lots of outpatient therapy (6 sessions per week to be exact). In typical Georgia fashion, she's already tackling the stairs and ready for whatever we throw at her.


Team G!





And we're outta here!


Happy to be home



And a few videos since being home:

Cruisin' the cul-de-sac (and checking out the neighbor boys!)

  1. Enjoyed the update! Next time Gram S. will join you, Georgia, checking out the neighborhood hunks. Great job on the tricycle and stairs. Lillian is a wonderful, smiling cheerleader! You're all as close as a thought! Love, xxx's and ooo's - Gram and Pops

  2. Amazing progress! That is some impressive riding and stair climbing!! We know those PT stairs well; if Grace had her way she'd try to pass along to Georgia all of her tricks for working around reciprocal footwork...
    Could Lillian be any cuter or look any more content watching it all go on??
    And I would like a picture of Sue ogling the neighbors on her next trip....

  3. Georgia looks like an ol' tricycle pro!!!! She didn't miss a beat....or a boy! Gotta love that girl!
    You gotta love her "no fear" attitude climbing the stairs....but I can certainly understand your fear of her taking those front stairs on her own! It's a great sign though!!!!

    I am so happy all is going so well!!!1 And again...Happy 7th...and Sushi Den is always a great evening out!!!!
    Enjoy your second weekend at home! XXX0000!!!

  4. Sulbutiamine kopen in Nederland, kan dat?
    Sulbutiamine is aan analoog van Vitamine B1, kun je die in Nederland bestellen?
    Sulbutiamine is in Nederland niet vrij verkrijgbaar, via internet is het onder andere in het Verenigd Koninkrijk te bestellen. Zoek altijd een shop met een goede reputatie en een wat langere bestaansduur. Goede shops hebben ook een zogenaamde CoA, een correspondence analysis. Dit is een certificaat dat de zuiverheid van het medicijn of supplement aantoont. Er zijn erg veel fora over nootropics, waarbij insiders je goed opweg kunnen helpen bij het bestellen van aniracetam.
