Update We ended the week having to deal with a freak
out because they showed up Thursday
evening and said they didn't have a spot for JT in Day Program. We had planned this thing for over 3
weeks. We were distraught , JT was
upset. I had many conversations with his
Doctor, his therapists, and his case worker.
I am not sure what the issue was.
I wasn't able to sleep Thursday
night . Christie was so
upset. The next morning after more
speculation with the help of his Case Worker Pam. We were able to get notification that we
were in. Thank the Lord. We finished up some more training. JT had a couple more days of good work. Friday he went Bowling with his team members
on the floor and then we went to the mall and had dinner at the food
court. Had a laugh or two when a guy at
the Nike store asked if they had them new New Balance. Awesome.
We made it back to Shepherd where Christie and Jacob had arrived. We spent some time just catching up and
headed in for the night. JT had morning
therapy and was greeted by a Surprise visit from his good friend Maura Jane
Weems, her Mother Janie Phil Weems, Ross
Weems, Josh Wallace, and There Mother. He
really enjoyed the time and there encouragement. We went and ate Marcello's Pizza. Made it back to the apartment and watched
Back to the future III and Minions. He
got a call from Ronald Brooks. We ate
an awesome homemade Dinner sent down from Darlene Long Lee, Wanda Long, and
Kimberly Cassidy. It was Chicken
Casserole, Fresh Corn, Asian Slaw, Deviled eggs , Rolls and Carmel Cheese
Cake. So Good!!! The Deviled Eggs were to die for!!! We have a short week of Therapy which will
have him graduating in-patient on Thursday.
I've got to move his stuff. We
have Robin MacLellan , Paul Newton, Tony Knox, and many other executing many
plans to accommodate our trip home. JT
has planned so many things. I hope and
pray it all works out. We will head home
early Friday and arrive ASAP. He wants to head straight to Cherokee High School
to see his Friends, Coaches and Teachers.
Friday was a tough day for Myself and JT. The realization that he wouldn't be taking
the field with his teammates hit hard.
The message he sent his teammates made me so proud of him. He was so proud of their effort. He got a video of his coach reading his
message to his teammates. Lastly I want
to Thank the Administration, Coaches ,
Players, Fans and the whole Daniel Boone High School Community for such a
Humbling show of Love and Support. He
got some messages from their players and Coach Jeremy Jenkins should be
Commended for a Great representation of Character. You guys Truly Honored God, Our Family and
The Game of Football. Thank You So Much
from the
Bottom of our Hearts!!!! May God Bless You All. We eagerly anticipate our trip home next
week. Continue to pray for recovery, Planning and Blessings. Thank you all for so much Love. #fightfor5.
