Jim Atchley from Tootie
We went to the doctor, everything is great
Took him to Texas Roadhouse for a steak
The doctor couldn’t believe how well he had recovered
Thank you, Jesus

A happy Martha update What a great day we had today! 💛 We started off with breakfast, and she ate really well. From there, we headed to the dermatologist, and we got such a wonderful report. He said her face looks great! There’s still a little healing left, but he told us he couldn’t do any better than what we’re already doing. He was amazed at how good it looks and told her himself. He even said that when everything is finished, there won’t be anything a little touch of makeup can’t fix. Just to keep using the scar cream at night, and we’ll go back in 6 months. 🙌
After that, we grabbed some lunch before therapy, and she ate well again—such a blessing! Then we got even more good news at therapy: they approved more occupational therapy, so we’re back to doing all three again.
She had an evaluation for physical therapy and did great! She tried both a cane and a hiking stick, and they actually recommended she start using a hiking stick instead. We picked one up on the way home, and she said it feels much more natural. They are really pleased with her progress, and we’re hopeful that in a couple of weeks she’ll be even more independent.
I am so thankful and praising God for all of this. It feels like such a weight has been lifted off my heart and shoulders. We are getting there! Thank you, Lord

We are all familiar with the challenges of navigating insurance and healthcare, and we know how heavy that burden can feel. Please join us in lifting Martha up in prayer, asking that her needs be met and that she receive the continued support and care she requires for her healing journey. UPDATE FROM TONY:
Well, therapy didn’t go as planned today. She started having some dizzy spells, so after about an hour, we decided it was best to come home. We stopped to get her something to eat, and thankfully, she started feeling better. After that, we went back to the eyeglass place and had them recheck her glasses—they found her prescription is off, which could be a big reason for the headaches and dizziness. She’ll be getting new glasses next week, so hopefully that helps! 👀
Other than that, she’s had a pretty good day. The only frustrating part is that insurance is now saying no more occupational therapy, but they’re trying to get approval for more. You’d think after having 5 brain surgeries, she’d be able to get all the therapy she needs—but we’re staying hopeful and will see what happens. For now, she’s continuing with speech and physical therapy, and they did say she’s improving very well! 🤯
She’s doing great with her cane, and we’re hoping that with continued therapy, she won’t need it at all one day. 🙌🏻
We’ve had some bumps in the road, but we’re choosing to stay positive. Every hurdle is just another step forward, even when it feels hard. We’re leaning on our faith and trusting that God’s got this and He is in control. We know He’s guiding every step of this journey. We’ll keep celebrating the small victories and holding onto hope—better days are ahead

Today was a good day, and I’m so thankful. 💛
Martha ate a decent breakfast, and we were able to get some therapy in this morning. We also went to see Alex (Jeremy’s Clinic Partner @ the Dr Office). They did some blood work and encouraged her to keep pushing herself to eat more—especially things like ice cream, shakes, and other higher-fat foods she can tolerate. That’s something we’ve already been working on, and we’ll continue to do so.
He’s also going to connect her with a health advisor to help guide us further. We talked about the dizziness, and he said the glasses should help, but we have to remember that this is her brain healing—and that takes time. It’s not like the outside of our bodies; healing isn’t always something we can see, but God is still working.
As for the headaches and cough, there are limited options because of her current medication, but we’re trusting God through this part, too.
Now for the blessing of the day—she weighed in at 99 pounds this morning, and the doctor confirmed the same. She’s gained a pound since last Thursday, and that may seem small, but to me, it’s a BIG win! 🙌
We’re choosing to celebrate every step forward. God is faithful in the little and the big, and we trust He will continue to strengthen Martha day by day. Thank you all for your prayers—please keep them coming as we walk into the rest of this week with hope and faith. 🙏✨
As we step into a new day tomorrow, we place everything in the Lord’s hands. Martha has a dermatologist appointment at 10:50 and therapy at 1:00, and we trust that God is already going before her, preparing the way.
We pray that the Lord continues to guide every doctor, every therapist, and every hand that cares for Martha. May He grant them wisdom, compassion, and clarity in every step they take.
For the rest of this week, let us hold onto God’s promises. Even in the waiting, He is working. Even in the unknown, He is faithful. May His peace cover Martha and all those surrounding her care, and may His strength carry us through each moment.
Let this be a reminder that we are never alone—God’s presence walks with us, His love sustains us, and His grace is more than enough

Martha update Martha’s Journey to Healing from Cryptococcossis (a severe brain infection) - Sunday, June 7…on the road to recovery💪🏼
——————————-
First of all, if you’re still following our healing journey, thank you! While Martha may no longer be in a medical facility, recovering from 5 brain surgeries takes time, and in some ways is actually harder because you don’t have medical experts right around the corner, available, so it can be a bit nerve-wracking & stressful.
DAILY UPDATE FROM TONY:
Martha had a restful day today. She’s been eating well and even walked around the house and outside a bit. Her weight this morning was 98 pounds!!! I don’t quite understand it since she is eating—we’re praying she will begin to gain soon.
This week will be a busy one—appointments with Dr. Jeremy on Tuesday, the dermatologist, therapy Wednesday, and again on Friday.
We truly appreciate every prayer lifted on Martha’s behalf.
—————————-
🙏 Lord, we lift Martha up to You. Please bless her body with the nourishment it needs. Help her to gain weight, restore her strength, and continue healing without any setbacks. Wrap her in Your comfort and peace, and let each day bring her closer to full recovery.
🙏 Father, we ask that You strengthen Tony as he cares for Martha. Give him peace in his heart, clarity in his decisions, and guidance in every step. Renew his energy and remind him he is not alone—you are walking beside him.

We are reaching out to our praying family to ask that you join us in lifting Augusta Seaborn Molter up in earnest prayer during this incredibly challenging time. We have received word that her little baby was born prematurely, and both mother and child are currently in need of our collective faith, support, and petitions to the Lord. Please pray for the medical team providing their care, for strength and healing for Augusta, and for the health and development of their precious new arrival. Let us surround this family with our love and keep them close in our thoughts as they navigate this difficult season.

From Rebecca Well, biopsy was done yesterday afternoon. It took an hour to perform the procedure. They were very good at the whole process and got a successful biopsy. I hope to know by Friday what the results are. I have some limits to what I can do for a few days and can only take Tylenol for pain. I am recovering from my other surgery, slow but steady. I go back next week to see how i am progressing from it. It has been a huge roller coaster ride with so many symptoms and side effects but blessed to be working through each obstacle. I thank each of you for the continued prayers and cards. Love to all

Augusta Seaborn Molter was a caregiver and is a friend. I am using her post because it is easier to explain

"I have been admitted and diagnosed with preeclampsia. It has been the scariest experience of my life, but the nurses and doctors at Fort Sanders have been taking incredible care of Matilda and me around the clock. Thankfully, Matilda is doing just fine—she seems to be enjoying the stay more than I am!

I am currently on strong blood pressure medication and being monitored 24/7. Our goal is to get my levels stable enough to go home so Matilda can keep baking a little longer. I am so thankful for the staff, my family, my friends, my loving husband, and everyone who has reached out to check on me. I feel so supported and loved. Please join me in prayer that my body stays strong and allows Matilda a little more time to grow."

I am asking for prayers for my caregiver's grandfather, Cecil Earles, who is having surgery tomorrow. Please keep him and the surgical team in your thoughts and prayers for a successful procedure and a smooth, full recovery. Thank you for your continued support and kindness.
