Here at the Holidays is always a good time to remember all that we have to be thankful for and how we all have the power to make things better.
I haven't passed along any posts on Josh lately. Here is the one Karen made this post this morning with a year in review and update on Josh.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2008 11:32 AM, CST Morning,
I have spent some time this morning reading my posts from last year. And again, I am in awe of just how far Josh has come. This time last year he was secretly working on standing up and sitting in his wheelchair. The therapy girls didn't know we were doing this! But what is striking, is that he needed my complete help in doing this. Just a simple maneuver really, stand, twist, and sit. Now, he is walking everywhere, driving and very seldom needs assistance with anything.
I also remember when he came home for Christmas last year, how Barry and Chris had to carry him upstairs in his wheelchair, so he could shower. The thought last year, of him actually walking up and down our stairs, was not even imagineable. He is doing this with fairly significant ease now. Of course holding to the railing, but still tackling the stairs, daily, to shower and get cleaned up.
I remind you all of this, to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for your prayers and concern. I am still humbled daily, with the enormous amount of compassion that so many have shown us. I can only imagine, what feat's, he'll have accomplished, this time next year! I look with great hope and anticipation, to see God's miraculous hand continue to move on Josh's body.
Have a beautiful day
Much Love, Karen
