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

and to all a good night!

De ja vu...it's past 11PM and I am just now settling in for the blog update, propped up on the pull out "bed," front to Georgia sleeping like a rock, back to the dark Colorado sky and trace outlines of mountains in the distance. I swear it's a time vacuum here in the hospital - where did the day go!?

In a nutshell, Miss Georgia is doing wonderfully! No complications from the procedure. She woke from anesthesia great, got some xrays that showed good placement of the shunt and drainage catheter (strong work Dr. H!), had some jello and water (dinner of champions), watched Barney and then drifted off to dreamland. While she was still a bit groggy, she seemed to also have re-found some of her clarity in the past few hours. Tomorrow will tell.

Sleep well, little angel, we love you and are so incredibly proud of you. Three brain surgeries by the age of 3 and a half? That's one hell of a dance card.

Love to all from Denver - and thanks once again for all of your continued thoughts, prayers, and love for our sweet Georgia.
