Update. J.T. Had an early day of therapy. He worked on Slide Board Transfers from the
bed to the shower Chair. Had a Skin Care
class teaching him how to care for himself.
The education process that goes on here is constant. Christie and I are learning as is J.T. . We are researching and having multiple
discussions on how to handle all situations in Caring for J.T. Christie continues to Amaze me by just
jumping in and doing so much. He hung
out with me when he had a longer break for lunch. He had an assistive technology Class learning
to use his laptop. He had a Visit from
Reporter Collin Brooks who has always had Good things to say about J.T. He traveled down just to interview him for
The Northeast Tennessee Pigskin Preview.
It really didn't seem like an interview more of a discussion between
friends and fellow Sports Enthusiasts.
He was very Genuine and made us all feel comfortable. The whole Experience was very positive and
very therapeutic for J.T.. Everyone
needs to check this Publication out!!!
We ended the Evening by laughing and Cutting up Just Christie, J.T. and
myself. The discussion turned to the day
of the accident and the next few days in Johnson City . He started asking us questions about what we
were thinking and who was there, and what he had said and done. We realized that with meds and all he was
going thru he has a limited memory of what took place. The Conversation was very emotional and I
assured him that it was easier to name who wasn't there than to name the
Multitudes of People who were there . He
ended the Conversation by asking about his Closest Family and friends and how
they were handling things. In Particular he was Concerned about Peyton and
Jacob. He ended by saying he wanted to
get better so he could be a good brother to them. He mentioned wanting to play
with Jacob and Hang with Peyton like Good Brothers do. This was heart Warming and Heart
Breaking at the same time. He said it was Good to Cry and talk these
things out!!! Please Continue to
Pray. There are so many ups and
downs. I have said it before We run the
Gamut of Emotions many times Daily. We
long for Home, We long for Normal. Sometimes
it Seems like that It's so far away. God
offers Eternal Hope. Thank You All for
your Continued Support!!!#fightfor5 wwwthefightfor5.com
