JT was choosen to do some promotional videos for The Shepherd Center


Update. These past few days have been packed full of Therapy and Class. I have some Video of him on the Lower Extremity Electrical Stimulation Bike.  Monday while in Therapy He had a Visit from Marina McDavid, Her Mother Angie, Sister Macy and Friend Theresa Lipe. They visited and Prayed with Christie and I and got to walk into the therapy room and say a quick hello.  He has been trying to get adjusted to spending time in his Manual Chair and is doing well.  Our Goal this week is to complete our Day pass which would allow him to leave in a vehicle with us and go to Church at a Local Church here in Atlanta.  We have several difficult Tests and Training to Complete this .  One of the things is Car transfers which we practiced yesterday with him and did quite well.  He was chosen to do some promotional videos for The Shepherd Center.  Patty his OT said he was the New Face of Shepherd!!!    He finally got the Feeding tube Removed clearing All Medical Hurdles!!!  He got a Visit from the 15U Crusaders Team again.  They brought him a Signed team ball,  hung out and talked baseball, and Prayed with us.  Kudos to Adam Cross , Tim Copenhaver, Zak Copenhaver, Gavin Cross, Lane Atkins, Noah Webb and the rest of that Bunch.  Two times in the past few days we have been told by Doctors and Staff of how mature and Polite J.T. Is.  This made us very Proud that he can Conduct himself this way during such Tough times.   Please Continue to Pray for Progress.  Mental Strength, Spiritual Strength,  Healing, and Hods Mercy and Grace.  Also remember Christie, Peyton, Jacob and myself.  We appreciate Your Prayers and Support!!!  #ightfor5. www.thefightfor5.com
