Lydia is completely healed (amazing) as X-rays showed today. Dr. Talbert said she could have the rod removed in 18 months, so that is the plan for now. She has been cleared to run and exercise and she started today (with her brother). She is teaching third grade in Memphis TN at Lester Elementary. She has a tough group but is enjoying the challenge.
Ginny is still enjoying Auburn and is really enjoying the break. She is very involved in St. Michael's church, babysits for three rambunctious little boys, and has remained involved with her sorority. Her heal and wrist still bother her a little but she is getting around just fine.
We will continue to keep you all in our prayers and hope for a quiet year in 2009.
Happy New Year!
John and Audrey
