Another Amazing Day!

Today Nathan had his skin graft. It was a a 4 hour process including recovery time. When he was brought back to the room he was wide awake and talking. It was really cool. He hadn't really been like that since I can't remember when. We had a great visit and he told me that he actually felt pretty good.

He had a good visit tonight with Caitlin, Krystal and Jason from school. We're really glad to have the kids back. Katy visited with him last night but I don't think he was feeling all that great. It's really nice having the kids back to keep him on his toes. Thanks to all of you!

Today, Steve and Dad finally got the truck to start and they got the U-Haul and with the help of several of the kids and one of the JW Security guys they got all of Nathans things down from the 6th floor and into the U-Haul. Thanks much to you all for your help. It was greatly appreciated.

Tonight we had dinner with my niece Tara and her wonderful husband Kyle and their absolutely adorable little boy Ethan. We tried a place called Benny's Cantina. It was pretty good but think we like another place called Blue Bonnet better. Anyway, it was fun and the food was good.

After dinner tonight, Dad and I went back by the hospital to visit with Nathan. He was doing well and actually had me loosen the screws on the stabilizer bar on his arm and he moved it straight and bent. It was kind of scary. I was afraid he'd push too much and told him not to over do it. His response was, "you're never satisfied"... I know it, but it freaks me out to think he might do it too far too soon. YIKES!!!!

Tomorrow Steve and Dad will begin their journey home. Probably won't make it home until Saturday or Sunday. They'll be stopping in Twin Falls to visit our special friends the Clontz'. Nita, I promise they'll be there. They wouldn't dare come through without stopping. Thanks for taking care of them.

Boy what a surprise to sign on to the blog tonight and see the blog from Derrick and Deb. Once again, someone doing something nice for us when we least expect it. How awesome are you! How lucky are we!!!

Obviously all your prayers and good wishes are paying off. Granted we still have mountains to climb but the best news is that they are climbable....(yes, I made that up)....

We hope you never tire of being told "Thank You". We couldn't have made it without all of you. We love you all.

  • Hey Bev, it's Josie. I hope all is going well. Unfortunately I haven't been able to stop by, I have had so much going on. I hope you have everything you need and let me know if you do need something. Tell Nate that I have him in my prayers every night, and to hang in there. I will try to stop by at the beginning of next week. Hang in there, he's so lucky to have you as a mom, you've been there every day. Take it easy.

    All my love, Josie
