Hello All. Two exciting things happened today. The first thing is that J sat up in a recliner. They moved him to the chair using a really neat lift. While J was in the bed the put a sling beneath him. Then they pulled the corners together and attached them to the lift. The lift raised him up and placed him in the chair. J sat up for about an hour. He looked very at home there (in part because he was watching a NASCAR race on TV!)
The second exciting thing was a visit from the boys. Allen saw his dad last Sunday, but J was very sedated. This was Sam's first time to see J since we came to Tulsa. The boys really seem to be doing well. They are all ready to start school tomorrow. It was wonderful to see them, and for them to see J looking so good.
Today was an uneventful day medically. Sundays in a regular room are pretty slow. J is still taking IV nutrition, but we hope to start clear liquids soon. No word about when we will be coming to home to Fayetteville. I will let you all know as soon as I hear something.
Goodnight and love to you all!
Cara

Wonderful! I am so happy to hear about his recovery. I also want to thank you for being so dedicated and updating the blog just to keep us informed. I love hearing all the good news. You will see remarkable recovery this week since he got to see his boys. I've known Jerry for a long time and I know his family is his life and seeing those boys will give him more ambition and more will. Cara, you take care of yourself and get some rest. If you need help, just let us know. God Bless.
