Up and Moving!

Flash Player needed to view this VideoBlog.

This progress is unbelievable! We started our day at 5:00 a.m., went into surgery by 7:00 a.m., came out by 8:45 (see videos below for arriving and prepping for surgery), and I was up walking by 9:00 p.m. with my new disc. Some people look at this and marvel at medicine. I look at it and think "Our God answers prayer!" Can't wait to share with you some of the stories from the hospital . . .stay tuned!

Jamie and Jenna Higgins's Gravatar Hey guys! I wanted to leave you some profound, articulate message that would uplift and encourage you--all I could come up with is that we love you with the Love of God and in that are praying for your complete recovery. The words aren't very profound, but God's Love is :)

In our prayers!

David Jr's Gravatar AMAZING!!!! I can't believe you are up and walking. I have been checking the blog every few hours for updates and seeing you walking makes it look like it is several weeks post-op.
I see you haven't lost that "Gibbons sense of humor" (depends on what socks I'm wearing - haha). Keep getting better.
I tried calling your dad's cell phone yesterday. If you could, please tell him to call me.
We will keep praying. We love all of you.
David Jr.
