Update 6-27-16. Yesterday I did not update out of respect for
Coach Pat Summit and her friends and family.
I would also like to start off today asking everyone to pray for Blaine
Jones and his Surgery today.
Yesterday was
a good day. J.T. Really did not rest well, but he felt strong
and determined for his rehab. He was visited by Adam, Autumn, Brylee, and His
Nerf War Buddy Zander. Bobby Joe Hancock
and his family also stopped by. We loaded them up with arm Bands and they
Loaded us up with encouragement and Prayers.
My Good Friend Jason Grooms and his Brother Josh also made the trip
down. The Rehab was really Good. He
started doing Board transfers. He got
his pic line out.
Today they
started training us on how to get him out of bed and get him in the shower and
in the chair. This will give him more
freedom. His Football Coach Cody Baugh
showed up for a visit and volunteered to stay two days and Coach him through
rehab. He even volunteered to spend the
night and allow us some rest. J.T. Was very excited to see him. During rehab today he balanced himself. Moved his weight around. Latex on his stomach and stretched. Even played a form of volley ball to develop
reflexes and balance. He has increased
his appetite. He got visits from Shauna
Markham and John Slaughter, Larry Foster
from E&H with some gifts. Chad,
Dianna , Erin , and Jesse Forgety stopped I with gifts and spent some time
encouraging him. Allison Evans and her
mom drove down and spent the afternoon with him. He also got a cal from his QB Coach Ron
Hudson who has been calling nonstop checking on him. J.T. Was actually able to talk to him. Tomorrow he has extensive rehab with Coach
Baugh pushing him along with his reg therapists. Each day we are closer to trachea removal
and Collar removal. He seems to get stronger. Still some things are frustrating. While he is moving fast . It is still a slow
moving rehab and injury healing .
Please continue to pray for strength and patience. #fightfor5. www.thefightfor5.com
