Friday, August 22

Hello. J's day was not as busy. He continued working with physical therapy on transferring from the bed to the wheelchair. Several of his stitches and staples were removed. And respiratory therapy came by to remove the trach. J is all ready to go. It looks like we will be going to HealthSouth on Monday at the earliest.

J would probably say that the highlight of his day was taking the wheelchair down to the lobby of the hospital and going outside for a short time. We have had beautiful weather here, but today it was quite warm by the time J was able to go outside. His doctor has written an order allowing the family to take him outside . That might be a nice way to pass the time this weekend.

Again, we thank you all for your love and support.

Love,

Cara

This weeks progress is nothing short of a miracle. Wow! J, you are amazing! I can't wait to come and see you both when you get to Health South next week.

Love from Fayetteville,
