Update Everyone Could see how Awesome a day our family
had yesterday!!! We thank God for Blessing us with such Great times together as
a family. Now I would be fibbing if I
didn't tell you we had our usual family fight when things got hectic trying to
navigate Turner Field. Hey that's just
how we Roll!!! Anyone who knows us can understand that. We are a passionate and opinionated family!!!
I Wouldn't change a thing.
Anyway a late night return only led to J. T. Having an early morning start. It really was a little bit of a rough night
for him but he did well today. Christie
and I learned some stretches to help him in rehab and for his overall
health. He went on a lunch outing and
had a successful trip In Which he learned many practical things that will help
him navigate daily. He returned and
participated in a Video with his Teammates here at The Shepherd Center in which
they did the Running man Challenge.
Watch out for that!!!! He was trying to get back to the room to visit
with Jordan and Jeff Idell who stopped in on there way to the Dominican
Republic. Jordan unselfishly gave J.T.
An awesome gift. These two boys have
competed against each other since they were 6 years old. They have never been great friends but always
respected each other as athletes and people.
For Jordan to show such compassion shows great character and an awesome
respect for J.T. and for the game they both love to play. It was very touching and humbling. We went and got measured for his manual chair
that he will be using. We returned to
find Sanders Henderson a friend of mine and a member of The Emory & Henry
College Football Coaching Staff. He
brought J.T. an E&H Helmet with a www.thefightfor5.com sticker that they will wear on their helmets
this Season. He also had a Wasps Jersey
and a Picture from former E&H President Charles Sydnor. While visiting with Sanders and his wife Jill
we had a delivery of a package from Grand Valley State University Football from
none other than former E&H Player and Coach Jack Ginn . What a
coincidence. They sent a team signed
jersey and an awesome note from Jack telling J.T. That he had recruited me to E&H J. T. Got
a kick out of that. Jack also had some
very encouraging words. We got a Van to
transport him around in. He has been
wanting to go to the Barbershop,
Movies, out to eat and especially
continue going to Church. Last Sunday we
had to do 6 two man lifts just that day.
Our Van was delivered to the Shepherd Center today . It has a ramp and tie downs for his Power
Chair or his Manual one. We went out to
eat a Maggianos. He actually has been
Craving Cracker Barrel , but that was not an option on Friday night I. The ATL. He ended the night with Peyton staying for
a sleepover with him. It has been an
Amazing Week to say the least. We feel
so Blessed at how far he has came and Our family does feel closer. Our God is more than Sufficient. We have plans to attend a movie and for sure
attend Church this weekend. God Bless
You All. wwwthefightfor5.com
