Update. Thursday started smooth as we picked out some equipment we will need. He went to assistive technology and they had
some fun doing Karaoke as a group.
Christie , Jacob and I went and picked out Peyton's Birthday
present. She turns Nineteen this Sunday
and will be arriving Saturday after celebrating at Furman with some friends
from home and her friends at
Furman. We are very excited to celebrate with her. He had strengthening class and PT in the
afternoon.
This morning
I got a message from Barbara Wiggins Albright about a friend of hers
neighbor. Who has a Nineteen year old son who will be
arriving at Shepherd next week. He will
be coming to ICU just like J.T. did and he has a similar injury. Barbara asked
if we would welcome him and try to be there for the family. We are very willing
to try and help anyway we can. Just a few hours later I get a message from
Bernadette Finnegan-Mauro from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation who
have been so good to us and she is telling me about this same kid and wanting
to know if we could help. Wow!!! It goes
without saying that God has put this family on our hearts and in our path so we
are asking that everyone please say a Prayer for them.
We finished up
the afternoon with Doug, Cathy Haun Crowder, and Ethan Crowder driving down to
spend the evening with us. They brought
J.T. Cracker Barrel for him to eat for lunch tomorrow. He had placed an order for 12 Grilled Chicken
tenders, Mac and Cheese and Hash Brown Casserole. Moments later Jason and Sam Royston came
strolling in. Sam and Jacob went straight to the Gym to shoot some hoops. We
had some great fellowship then we went to eat Mexican together. Jason and Sam invited Jacob to attend the Braves
game with them. The game was delayed so
they went over and played baseball games at Turner Field. They game was good, the Braves won and Jacob
had a blast. The Crowders headed back
and we went to the apartment. I got to
the apartment and had forgotten my laptop and my blue tooth so I went back and
found J.T. hanging out in his room with
a couple of pretty ladies that are his friends here. That boy!!!
I want to thank our friends for a. Great evening. J want to say that we are seeing all the work
and excitement building for the Golf Tourney Saturday and Sunday. Robin MacLellan sent me a list of
contributors, Sponsors, Teams, and Auction items and I am just blown away. It
is going to be an amazing weekend. I so
wish we could be there. Thanks Everyone
and God Bless!!!
