Technology's Great -- when it works
Well, dear blogger friends, the unthinkable has happened in this blessing of Jack updates. My computer has crashed. I have re-installed my operating system but am waiting on a replacement disk to re-install my internet provider's software. More info than you need, I know. I say all that to say -- I am currently sitting in the Abilene Public Library to update the blog. Updates will be a little less frequent than in the past. However, when I get an update from Rob or Tammy, it is simply from a 'comments' post that I re-post so that it is front and center. They will still be here -- just perhaps a little harder to find.
I do know that Sophie woke up with more than 101* fever today, so won't be travelling (traveling is like vomiting -- it doesn't look right either way) to Dallas to see Jack this weekend, but Tammy has figured out a way for Sophie to get her own special trip to Dallas when she is well! Tamara is not feeling well and could use our prayers for sustenance as well.
Rob and Tammy, my apologies to you for my technology failure. We're all still praying!

But I mostly thank God everyday for each step of Jack's recovery and that you have each other and the love and support of so many people.
We have so many people praying for Jack and for all of you. The prayer quilt for Jack will be up this weekend at church and as everyone passes by after coming to the Lord's table for Communion, they will pass the quilt, tie a string, and say a prayer for Jack. The quilt will wrap Jack in all the prayers and love that has gone into it. God Bless. Love you all! Aunt Debbie
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.
Tammy
