We are Truly Blessed


Update. We returned home late Tuesday Evening for Our Thanksgiving Break which was our longest trip home!!! We had Thanksgiving Lunch at East Tennessee Iron & Metal with our Awesome Coworkers and Family.  We had Our Traditional Family Thanksgiving at our house.  My Wonderful wife and my two sister-in-laws Cooked some Amazing Food.  We also had Steak Dinner Thanksgiving on Saturday with Christie's Family.  The Amount of Food we consumed was Legendary!!!   Most importantly at each event we were able to reflect on The many Blessing we have received and Give Thanks for those as well as Giving Thanks for so many important people in our lives.  I was able to take both my Boys Deer hunting with the help of our Good Friends Doug and Ethan Crowder.   Jacob busted a nice 7 PT Buck  with a 192 yd Sniper Shot and J.T. Had one of the best Hunting days ever the story I can't elaborate on correctly in this short update.  I was so Awesome to be out in Gods Creation.  We did get to watch football which by the way we will not discuss except to say that We The Brooks Family are Vols For Life!!!   We also got to attend a Movie as a family.  I got to Love on my Beautiful and Super Smart Daughter Miss Peyton Brooks who I am so proud of.   I can not Thank my Wife Christie enough for all her hard work.  She is Truly a Gourmet Chef!!! You guys could not fathom just how much she can do in a Kitchen.  It felt so good to sleep in my own bed next to the Love of my life for an extended period of time.   J.T. got to Sleep in his new bed an actual real bed.  He got to take a shower in his new Bathroom and All in his new Bedroom that is almost completely finished.    We still have ramps and money other items to finish but atleart he has a room.  We are now back in Atlanta.  We  have two weeks of therapy left. Last week we only had two days but he said they were some of the toughest he has ever had.  He is Really Busting his Tail.  While home this morning we had God provide us with another Glimmer of Hope.  We are so Thankful for this progress.  The last two weeks here we will continue to ramp things up.  We have so much planning to do for our arrival home  we actually had some Prayers answered in respect to some care planning but we have so much more to work out.   The momentum we have gained in therapy is something we want to build on and continue to push when we get Home.   Please continue to Pray for Healing, Patience, Understanding, Strength, The ability to make good decisions,  and most of all for Gods Will!!!

Thanks again for everyone Concern and We are Truly Blessed and Thankful for you All!!!  #Fightfor5 One Day at a Time!!!  God Bless You All!!!
