e last time I saw her sit up, she could not hold up her head. I was on a mission to deliver some clothes today, but was pleasantly surprised to be able to talk to one of her therapists. She wanted to give us all praise for putting Kathi's therapy ahead of our need to be present. She also said that Kathi was working "like a dog!" Right after taking this picture, Kathi insisted that I take one of the two of us.

Kathi Girl, I love that you have your Bicycles Plus Diva shirt on in this picture! Even in the worst of times, you are respresentin' our sponsor! This is tough, but you are soooo much tougher! The Bodacious Biking Babes are waiting in the wings to pick you up and carry you through the months ahead. You remain in our thoughts and in our prayers every hour of every day. Keep up the good work!
You look great Kathi! Keep holding on! You are doing awesome!!
Way to go K4!! So, not only does the flesh not cooperate with the Spirit, but your body won't cooperate with your will! Doubly frustrating. My prayer will be for you to be tenacious in rehab and that God will pour out his strength into you!
I am so glad to see this great photo of Kathi and her big smile. Could you please give us an update on Kathy Hurd as well.
Many thanks.

Kathi, even though our bodies do not do what we tell them sometimes-(I understand this),our spirits are still strong! Alex and I are praying for you and are confident that God is doing daily miracles for you. The Lakeside singles group sends lots of love and hugs!! Love ya girlfriend!!
Kathi,
I hope that it will be possible for you to be wheeled outside for a healthy dose of vitamin D-I know that you'll love that.
We all miss you so much and pray daily for your recovery.
Stay strong and Bodacious!
Love,
Wendy

Hi, Kathi
I've been missing your gracious and sweet smile -- so thanks for showing it! Keep up the hard work and I'll keep praying for the Great Physician to give you strength and healing!

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!!
What a site for sore eyes. To see you sitting up in a chair and eating, and hearing all the hard work you are doing is music to my ears and eyes.
God had blessed his strength and love over you and I know that will continue as you approach the weeks and months ahead.
I really miss seeing you and cannot wait to see you again when you are ready for visitors.
So many prayers and love are flowing your way and I continue to pray that God will begin to set you down gently as you begin to march on your own two feet while keeping steady.
much love,
Johanna
In response to the requests for an update regarding Kathy Hurd's condition, I'm thrilled to tell you that her progress is amazing! She is still troubled by aching pain in her back when she stretches out her pain medicine, sharp pain in her shoulder regardless of what she does, and constant dizziness. However, she is mobile (praise God!) and now faced with a new problem. She is going stir crazy!
Like Kathi, her mind is focusing on all of the tasks at hand. However, her body is not allowing her to accomplish them. Unlike Kathi, she is completely cognoscente of the events that caused this situation. Thanks to all of the dear friends who have visited her recently. The time you have devoted to Kathy means the world to her.
And finally, Susan S., your comments really touched me. I am 100% confident that God will use this event to show His glory. Our families greatest prayer is that more will come to know Him through all of our actions.
God bless!

Hi Kathi,
My name is Eric Nichols and was referred to your blog by Patti Atwood. I also see Lori Scheel's name whom I had the pleasure to meet when I managed the Folsom Chipotle...Let me congratulate you on having God's favor for your recovery. My son is Sgt Sam Nichols of the United States Marines. He suffered a TBI in Iraq when his Humvee was hit by an IED. The medical community gave us no hope for survival, let alone recovery. God had other ideas for Sam and Erin (his wife). Sam's family began to stand on God's promises for healing in scripture and over the past year (July 24th) we have seen many miracles performed on Sam's behalf. If anyone would like to visit Sam's blog...( tneria01.wordpress.com ) Please remember this Kathi: "For all the promises of God find their yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory." 2 Cor 1:20
I will be praying and believing for your total restoration right along with Sam's. God Bless you!
Eric
Oh Kathi! It's so good to see you smile. I'm amazed at how incredible you look! You are so beautiful. God's spirit is alive in you! May you continue to grow stronger each day and rest in God's peace. With much love, Sandy
As the Holy Spirit speaks to me through this little computer filled with inspirational words, pictures, and music, the things I hear and feel the strongest are gratitude and humility.
My devotions started with praying for the soldiers serving in Iraq. Then I realized we, as children of God, are all soldiers, fighting for His kingdom. Each victory brings glory to God. This battle..this war..you will win through Christ, and for His glory! As painful and frustrating it is for both you and Kathy, your courage to face the next challenge, and the strength you need to succeed, is all unfolding right before our eyes.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers, my fellow Warrior for Christ.
Awesome pic by the way..Blessed Blogger!

"Only be careful and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." ~ Deut. 4:9
Wonderful, wonderful picture! What a blessing it is to see that beautiful smile!!
Ephesians 3:16 (NIV)
I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.
May God strengthen your inner being and your physical being.
Hang in there, you are doing an awesome job and you are an inspiration to many, many people...
Kathi, I miss you so much. Hamburgers don't taste the same.
Infusion Sister! I love you so much.

Kathi, Tahana here. WOW you are doing so well! I am so thankful for you. You look great. We all miss seeing your beautiful smile and I can't wait to see what GOD is going to do with your testimony now. I look forward to the time when you're better and we get a chance to sit and talk again. I know it sounds like I'm being selfish with you because I want to be near you but that's how I am with the people I love. Ed told me to tell you Hi and Eddie, Dion and Masiah send you air hugs and kisses. Praying for your recovery and strength. We LOVE YOU
