Update. We have spent the last few weeks with J.T.
Busting his tail in BT. I walked in and saw him after his first day and he was
white eyed!!! These are the type
workouts he is used to. He has been
doing tons of Core and Upper Body Strengthening. His Attitude has been the same ole J.T.
. We have a Schedule that usually
consists of Tuesday thru Thursday and in between we have been traveling back
and forth to Home. He has School as well
during the week. With our time in
Atlanta drawing to a close preparations are being made at home with the finishing
of his room and bathroom . As usual it will be right down to the wire. We have also been in the planning stages of
getting his accommodations for rejoining his Classmates at Cherokee For the
Spring Semester. I never realized all
the things that needed to be done. At
times it seems overwhelming. We just
have to try and clear the next hurdle in front of us. With Travel back and forth sometimes I feel
like all I do is pack drive unpack and then repeat!!! While it is hard it is
still better to spend time at home with Christie, Peyton , Jacob and our Family
and Friends. We did get to Go and see
The Vols take on Kentucky and Win!!! We have also been preparing to do a little
Deer Hunting at Home. The Weather did
not really cooperate this weekend but we will hit it hard come Thanksgiving
Break!!! We traveled back this evening to get in two days of therapy before
heading back Tuesday Evening for a Family Thanksgiving that has been a Focal
point for us for a Long time. We can not
wait to Feast on some Amazing Food, Spend time with our Awesome Family, Watch
some Football, Catch a Movie, Do some Deer Hunting, and Most of All Give Thanks
for All Our Many Blessings!!! As far as
Progress goes he Continues to make Strength Gains. He has had some minor developments that give
us Hope. We have had to Battle a few
medical issues. We have been so Lucky to
have Dr. Chris Calendine be available at a moments Notice to help deal with many
things . He is not only an Amazing
Doctor, he is Our Friend. He traveled to NYC and Competed in the NYC
Marathon Raising Money for The Reeve Foundation. While we were home over last weekend he had
stopped in and was checking on J.T. He
Secretly left a bag of Goodies for J.T.
That just happened to contain his Medal he was Awarded for Finishing The
NYC Marathon. I just want to say Thanks
which is in no way enough for All that Chris has done for Our Family!!! We will be able to attend Our Company Thanksgiving
Lunch Wednesday with the Wonderful Employees We have at East Tennessee Iron
& Metal. They have been so
Supportive during our very difficult time.
I have the pleasure of having so many longtime and Trustworthy
Employees. That Peace of Mind Enabled me
to spend as much time as needed in Atlanta with J.T. I was able to do most of my duties via Phone,
Text, or Email. Having a Company that is More of a family
than a business is a Great Blessing to me.
I would also like to say that when I lay my head down at night and say
my Prayers I Thank The Good Lord above for my Community that has Supported us
every step of the way. I would also like
to Wish Everyone of You a Happy Thanksgiving.
I can Truly say that you should not take anything for Granted especially
Your Family and Friends. Take the time
to Enjoy the Little things for these are Truly Blessing!!! Please continue to Pray for Healing,
Recovery, An Easy Transition, and Patience.
God Bless You All!!! We Truly Love and Value Each and Everyone of You!!!
