Blessings in Augusta

Dad has advised me that things are tolerable at VA and certainly turning around for the positive. Justin has his appetite back, has been recognized as being more cooperative and less antagonistic (counselor advice and wordage). PT/OT has been finding him to offer more time for workouts than are typically scheduled.

Dad said VA doesn't seem to have a daily schedule, more of a Mon-Wed-Fri theme but they found Justin and offered up more workouts today. They also had an important conversation with someone who seemed to recognize that doing a good job was the goal, not being threatened by another institution's way of achieving success.

While there were still things not yet resolved, it appears they are being addressed without recourse and our heavy-hearted feeling on Saturday is making both Justin and Scotty feel that the decisions we made were clearly in Justin's best interest and have been duly noted by VA. They even made a serious attempt to get the right condem-cath (just didn't get the right size---but I'll keep this G-rated--ha ha).

I'll get Dad to update tomorrow as he is the one there and so very excited about the turn-around. I just wanted to let everyone know that we prayed for the right instruments and were once again blessed!!!

Love you all and continue to thank you for your support, encouragement, prayers and thoughts!!

  1. We thank God for the turnaround but are anxious to hear more good things. All of you, especially Justin, have been our thoughts and prayers. There was no doubt that Justin would adjust to his new surroundings, at least enough to get through this phase of his journey. If there is anything Joe and I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let us know. We love ya'll. Thanks for keeping us informed. Betty
