Josh,
It is great to hear that you are healing well. It is good to know that prayers can be answered.
I hope that your time of recovery is short and that you and family have  a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hey Guys,

Barry here,

It was neat to have Josh post something. He told me to log him in and to leave the other night.  When I got back to the hotel and read it...I too got teared up.  We have had a good week here and I am learning to help him get from the wheelchair to bed and shower and many other things I never new about.  Its a whole different world.  Josh may be going into a day program around christmas which may mean he gets to go home for christmas. I may have to stay in Atlanta another week as my wife isnt healing as quickly as she thought she would from the surgery...I hate to miss another week of work...but be here with Josh is hard but very rewarding...Like when he puts his arms around your neck and you help him stand for a few seconds.  He doesnt have a lot of strength in his left leg or arm yet...but he is able to get into bed on his own now and just needs a little help here and there to do daily tasks.

Chief and Pinkie from the site are coming buy for dinner tonight...Its always good to see them and Josh was looking forward to it.

Just wanted to thank all those who donated again...I havent had to worry about how I was going to pay for the hotel this week. Next week may be a different story though. But we dont look that far ahead as Josh is changing daily.  I was told unofficially that he had a 85% chance of walking again.  That is a miracle any way I look at it!!!
Thank you also for all the posts of encouragement...they help more than you guys can imagine.

With a greatful heart,

Barry Heine

Hey Barry!

What great utterly fantastic progress Josh has made! I know this journey has been difficult but then again, we only grow as people during the tough times! I'm so glad to hear how well he is doing! Still sending out hopes and prayers to get to be home for Christmas!

I'm sorry to hear that Karen is taking longer to heal than she had hoped! I guess that's why patience is a virtue? It's so difficult!!

Have a great time with Chief and Pinkie visiting! Hope to see you soon!

We're SOOO proud of you Josh! Keep up the good work and keep on smiling! Your progress is priceless and can't wait to see you walking around!!

More positive thoughts and prayers on the way!!

Hey Guys,

Sure do miss all you guys...miss the site...and miss being at home. But that is all changing this weekend. My son, Josh, gets to come home for the holidays. We are leaving friday and will have to return on Christmas Day...or maybe the day after. Josh is slowly progressing and we found out that he will need surgery on his left elbow. We hope this doesnt mess up his rehab. He may have to go home after the surgery and it could be difficult to get him back in the day program down here which is intensive PT from 9to4 each day. It all seem to be what the insurance does or doesnt do. It is amazing that a insurance company could make the difference if my kid walks again. Someone who has never even seen my son. Oh well, I didnt log on to gripe...but to tell you how thankful for you guys on the site helping me through this difficult time. I am so looking forward to Christmas this year and have more to be thankful for than anyone. I think when I get home I made ride my bike a little no matter how cold...just cause I can! Another thing to be thankful for.

As I talk with people here they say things like I wish I could just have use of one of my hands...or I would trade being able to stand, if I could just go the bathroom normal. I have a new awareness of being thankful.  So to you...my CVO brothers...I am thankful. So this Christmas...all I want if for everyone here is to love those around you and reflect a little with friends and family of what we have to be thankful for!!!

Your Friend,
Barry Heine
