Through The Eyes of a Lion


7/7/2016 -Update The Sun came up this morning.  J. T. Woke up and began a new day with a much better attitude.  I knew as soon as I saw his face today would be better.  Let's be honest though yesterday would have been easy to beat.  He went to rehab and did well with some practical things.  He came back and fed himself lunch.  Yeah is appetite is back.  They told him that if everything continues he will get the feeding tube out Monday.  He headed out again to PT and progressed quite well.  Christie and I along with J.T.  Went out to the road literally.  We crossed Peachtree Street twice which is no easy feat.  J.T. Was driving his Power Chair. It was all part of training .  Our Goal is to get our walking pass.  Which will allow J.T. To go off campus anywhere we can roll in his chair.  Our Apartment across the Street which would be a huge lift for us all just to spend time as a family outside the walls of a hospital.  We have been in one for over 6 weeks.  We have more training tomorrow that will require great efforts and over coming physical and emotional hurdles.  Pray that we are able to get this Victory.   J.T.  Had a nice visit from our neighbors and friends Robbie and Emily  Price.   At the end of the day he had some of his favorite people visit.  Shona, Landon and Justin House drove down with many sweets.  He this family so much like we all do.  They are really Family to us!!!  Lee Umberger Zak Parker and Justin's Girlfriend Katherine Brown also Made the trip with them.  We had many laughs and no one was safe from good natured ribbing.  I would like to thank everyone for praying for us.  I would like to Thank God for answering Prayers.  We serve a Living God!!!  I listened to a sermon by Derek George.  The Author of " Through The Eyes of a Lion" who preached at Buckhead Baptist Sunday. I listened to it last night based on a recommendation from J.T.'s Doctor. I won't tell the whole sermon but in it he talked how God chose his very best soldiers to fight his toughest battles.  He talked about several things Lions do one of which is travel in Prides to protect each other from attack.  These things rang true.  J.T. Is one of God's toughest Soldiers and with God's help he will prevail and We do feel lucky to be a part of the same Pride as all of you!!!  Thank You  Thank You Thank You!!! #fightfor5   Please visit J.T's Site www.thefightfor5.com. God Bless!!!  One day at a time!!!
