Yippee--an actual update

All of you that, like us, have been holding your breath for this moment, you can now breathe easy: I spoke to my child!!

He said Monday was a rough day, he was "sick"--said it wasn't anything in particular, he has just been feeling 'blah' since Monday. He was tired Tuesday & today and said he spent most of his spare time sleeping. No rain there so we couldn't attribute it to that, he said he's just blah and his BP got low today which made it worse.

PT/OT are continuing to work him hard and he got a "manual chair" yesterday (the not-so-morbic version of what he said what it was kicking his a**, he literally said he thought he was going to die trying to move around in it). But, he's moving around in it and I take that as another blessing--manual chairs are hard especially when you don't have 100% use of your hands.

He didn't mean to worry anyone by not responding and reiterated he's just been tired and not feeling so hot. Hopefully our visit this weekend will rejuvenate his energy and motivation.

Also, there is a couple that works there--the wife is a tech on Justin's floor who told her husband (not sure where he works at) that Justin was a die-hard LSU fan. The husband attended and graduated from LSU. They gave Justin a LSU blanket that the husband got while attending school there. SO....he asked me to get him a 'special' thank you card for them!!

So many AWESOME people making this journey so much easier to bear!!!!!!!!

It would take a post of its own to name all of you that have prayed, encouraged, supported (in every conceivable way) and expressed genuine consideration----to all of you, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FROM ALL OF US!! WE are truly blessed.

Oh, he has his neck collar off also. We will try to get more pictures this weekend and get them posted for you all.

Love to you all, you are a huge part of the miracles we continue to see!!

Thanks to Erica and Quianna for assisting with tonight's phone call......

  1. He will have his "down" days, heck, even we do that and we are not in his shoes. Just know he will bounce back
