Thursday

As of right now, there are several set-backs that are not enabling Ron to pursue his therapy at Shepherd's to the fullest extent. He is doing the best he can both mentally and physically at this time. The Powell family ask that you continue to keep Ron in your thoughts and prayers daily.

Wednesday

Just to let everyone know, Ron is doing much better today. He is back in the saddle and continuing his therapy the best he can at this point. He is feeling well and in good spirits with all things considered. Keep Ron and the Powell's in your thoughts and prayers.

Tuesday Update

Here is the latest news on Ron. Overall, Ron is still doing really well. Although he still has the blood infection, he is still on the path to recovery. Ron received 2 units of blood today which seem to help his body. Currently Ron and his family are awaiting the results from the doctors regarding his blood infection. Ron has asked that everyone continue to pray for him for a full recovery. He also wanted to thank everyone for previous prayers, gifts, visits, and cards. The Powell's truly appreciate everything that has been done thus far.

Monday Update

Over the weekend, Ron was told by his doctors at Shepherd's that he has a serious blood infection. With treatment this can be cured; However, your prayers are needed more now than ever. Please continue to keep Ron and the Powell family in your thoughts and prayers. We know what the power of prayer can do, we have already seen it in action.

Friday Update!

On this Friday, prayers have been answered for Ron and the Powell Family. Ron was told today that his spinal cord was NOT severed. He may get feeling back within 3-12 months; However, this is not a guarantee at this time. If you know Ron, you know he will get that feeling back and more...his competitive heart and God's hand will hopefully make this happen.

He is still in a lot of pain, but is doing a lot better today. There is also a fact that he can be home by August 25th if rehabilitation goes according to plan. At this time, he will have to return to Shepherd's for therapy sessions. Please continue to keep the Powell's in your thoughts and especially your prayers!

Attention Friends

With all the extensive rehabilitation that Ron is undergoing in his "Boot Camp" at Shepherd's, it has been requested that we give him more time to heal before any more visitors. While the Powell's greatly appreciate the support from visitors, Ron needs another week or 2 before he sees anyone else.

We must all respect his wishes to ensure that a speedy return to Thomasville is on it's way. Once again, your thoughts, prayers, wishes, cards, phone calls, and support is greatly appreciated by the Powell Family.
