The Carr's and the Lampman's celebrated Thanksgiving 2007 on the 7th floor of the Shepherd's center with a view of downtown Buckhead (fabulous view)! The room on the 7th floor has an entire wall of glass and it was a great place to spend the afternoon with my family. After a great traditional Thanksgiving dinner (arranged by Aunt Kim and cousin Missi (thanks so much!), Uncle Jake and Jessy serenaded us (Jake on the piano) with Jessy singing Bonnie Raitt's' "I can't make you love me". What a treat! While Uncle Jake and Jessy performed, the Lampman contingent in Boston listened in on the cell phone. We missed you Courtney, Susan, and Brittany! Hope Ernie enjoyed his first Thanksgiving turkey!
I'm doing well and looking forward to next week. I start sitting up in the chair tomorrow and building up by 1/2 hour increments added each day. If all goes well I'll be back on the second floor (the rehab floor) towards the end of next week.
I'm very thankful that so many of my family members were able to make it to Atlanta, as I know the! drive from DC was long (12 hours) and lots of traffic. I'm also thankful for all of the love and support from everyone. I am blessed to have all of you cheering me on. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Love you Courtney!

Dana & Courtney:
Just thougth I'd drop by to say that I appreciate your blog--Courtny works with my daughter Val at AOMC, and when you got hurt, added the spot to my favorites so I could check in on you. When my son was in an accident, Val started our own blog, and it is only because of yours that Jer's friends can keep up with his progress. He isn't quite as far from home, but there are people who can't get to see him and a blog helps. Our prayers are with you both and your families as you travel through this journey together. Hopefully you will move along quickly as you progress to the chair again. (when you and Jer both get back home, you'll have to get together and talk about your "experiences"--they seem to be somewhat the same)
