Friday from Tammy
Sarah I am sorry for your computer. What a headache. I hear you are keeping some of the kids for Tamara today to take Sophie to the Dr. All the cogs that are turning to make things work at home are amazing.
We will look forward to seeing Sophie when she is better, and can't wait to see DJ today.
Jack is deep in the middle of therapy after therapy. We just returned from occupational therapy and music therapy will be there soon. (He likes that one) then this afternoon physical therapy. We will see speech therapy soon this morning also, the swallowing thing is not working too good yet. He didn't have the study yesterday because he wasn't swallowing water or jello that was offered in small amounts. He has made good friends with the suction tube and likes to hold onto it and suck out his saliva himself. Good for motor skills, not so good for swallowing practice.
We will have one last cat scan on Sunday before we go to Baylor on Monday to make sure that his head is still looking good.
He is holding his head alot, he had an assessment last night because of it, Teenie, the nurse practitioner for neurology said he is looking good neurologically. Could be sinus' or allergies so they started him on an allergy med. last night.
I was glad to see tears working for the first time yesterday. Never glad to see him cry, but glad that one more function is making its way back.
He has not lost any of his love to cuddle. He loves to lay his head on yours and just make a soft humming noise.
We were so glad to see the Allen's and the Ware's yesterday. Thanks for making a trip to see us and a trip to target. Jack likes his new jammies.
Well I am glad to be looking at another sunny day as I am sitting next to the window. Jack has enjoyed going for wagon rides outside in the walking areas. Today will be warm and sunny for him to enjoy.
He is walking better each day. Still with someone one each side, but he is more sure footed each day. Thanks for all your prayers and cards, warm wishes, and tears. We all love Jack and the wonderful personality he has, can't wait till we are all together again.

I was able to easily find the nail polish and other supplies you were needing. They will be in the sack with all your mail. Glad to know you are pampering yourself a little.
We will be specifically praying for Jack to get the "swallowing thing" back to working and on the road to eating those McDonald's hamburgers soon.
Please let me know if I can help with D.J. and Sophie. I know Tamara is not feeling well so I would be glad to stay with Sophie if you need me to. Jack is in my thoughts and prayers 24/7. I am so pleased with his progress. I keep praying for leaps and bounds but I know we must have patience and wait for the Lord's time frame and not our time frame.
Love always,
Tracy
We are all thinking of you all and hope to see you soon . Good to hear Jack is on the road to recovery and i have offerd to help in any way if Rob's sister needs it , just let her know we are here for her too.
The Mayes Sarah ,Mark ,Pete and Luke
We will miss you at LADIES RETREAT terribley! Yet, YOU are the one living out Jesus love. We will be lifting up all of you in our prayers, especially sweet Sophie as she is here =( BUT Enjoy your time with DJ and let us know any way we can help. I will be praying for Jack's endurance for I know those therapies can be fun, OR can be totally DRAINING! The prayers will continue!
Love,
Jennifer Ross
We continue to pray for Jack and you guys. And that Sophie will feel better quickly.
Love you guys!

Ah, sunshine...does the body good! Glad you're ALL able to get out and smell and experience the beauty of God's creation!
I know you're looking forward to DJ's visit too. Sorry Sophie is not feeling well. We'll be praying for her and Tamera too!
Give Jack a big hug for us! Take care of yourselves.
We love you!

Sunshine for you and for Jack. It is great news on his progress. Hope he soon begins the swallowing automation. you have a wonderful group of people round you and to read their prayers and comments for Jack's recovery are fantastic. Thanks to Sarah for organising the Blog to enable me to keep up to date and also to Elaine who has been able to do and give the hands on support which we can not, being so far away.love Greta
Thank you for being such an example to all of us of patience and unending love. We will continue to pray for Sophie's healing and for Tamara to get better. Our love, Foy and Mary Sue
You know Joyce Hailey called me and I sold the Eternal Threads purses. We sold at least 20 and Linda Egle was so nice to bring them out. So that ministry contined in your absence - Yeah God!! I worked with lots of swallowing patients and saw lots of progress. It's work and it's gagging sometimes but it teaches the brain again. Hang in there, it will pay off.
Love you both
Denise
