Howie, I received a brief e-mail from Barry on Tuesday of this week. He did not report on Josh's progress, so I replied asking him to do so here in this thread whenever he gets a chance. He did, however, mention how grateful he is for the contributions from the members here. I don't think he will mind me quoting him: "My family and I are so greatful to the CVO guys for all they have done. I really could not be making it now...and keeping the bike...if it wasnt for all of you."
I also spoke with Barry the other night. He had a pretty ruff time the last few weeks. Was tired all the time and had a bad back along with quiting smoking. Medication was the culprit. He sounded like his old upbeat self last night.

This site has been a real Blessing to Barry, Karen, Josh, and the entire Heine family! I spoke with our little darling Jessica and asked her how Christmas was and she said it was the "Best Ever". In a time of sacrifice due to the circumstances, she understands what Christmas is all about! God Bless ya honey!
Those who continue to pray, your prayers are working. Josh has made some awesome progress but has a long road ahead of him. Those that want an update can check out this website and you can check the box to receive daily updates thru email. This will also help you know what to specifically pray for.
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/joshheine There is also a place to reply or sign his guest book. May I encourage you to do this. It encourages them and lets them know that their not in this alone.
Some have made contributions and it has always come at the right time! May I encourage you if you have been thinking about helping and haven't, you are missing out on a blessing. God Bless!!!
