I want to start this week by saying God is good and even in these difficult times I see him around me and my family. Vicky and I made it to church today and it really does help us get thru the week. On the Sundays we miss I fell different all week.
Jared had a good week. He continues to get stronger in his upper body and he had what they call trace move movement in his legs. The best way to describe this is it might take 50 nerves to move your legs and he has maybe 2 working right now. This is probably not the most accurate medical explanation, but at least it gives you an idea of what he is dealing with. He has gone from not being able to lift a small cup of water to lifting a few pounds.
He can roll himself around in the wheelchair but it is still very tiring and he can only go in short bursts.
Vicky and I have to say thank you to all of you who have volunteered to help with the building of Jared's room. It is amazing the amount of people willing to take the time and come help. Several contractors from our church have volunteered to do all the work and I will be trying to purchase everything this week so they can get started. Just another example of the amazing outpouring of love we have witnessed since Jared went in the hospital
People have asked me about what we are eating and thanks to Rich (chicken parm last Sunday) and David (steak and chicken Saturday that we are about to eat again now) we have had incredible meals and leftovers. David and Kathy have been so great not sure what we would do without them. Of course not to be forgotten is Shelia Collins who always remembers Jared with food :) and Jen and Lucy with great bakery items.
Jared had a special visit from Dr. Libby this week. He was so impressed that she came and still hasn't stop telling people about it.
PS Rich we have more little Pepsi for you.
