Another Husker visit!

Johnny Rogers stopped by to see Justin on Wednesday, so his Physical therapist, Kristi, who happens to be a huge Kansas fan, was not happy or thrilled which made Justin laugh and made his day!  Justin was even able to get her to have a picture taken with Johnny and told her, he was going to show ALL of her friends that she posed with a Husker Legend. (She refuses to meet Justin in his "Husker Room" because it is covered in Big Red decorations.)  So needless to say, they are having a very fun time back and forth on the football team rivalry.

Justin was visited by his kids for about six hours on Sunday, which made him extremely happy.  Justin was placed on the mechanical bike again on Wednesday.  He loves that because his leg muscles do do the work.  They also placed him in a standing contraption but he said he felt very dizzy and thought he was going to pass out.  He moved his left thumb and says it is starting to happen often.  His therapist said if he continuously moves his finger/s everyday, they will start shocking them.  This means his nerve endings are coming back, so we are hoping and praying for that!!  He is getting his hands closer to his mouth, so hopefully soon he will be able to feed himself and regain some of his independence on doing that.  His legs also twitch and will jerk real quick sometimes- muscle spasms. He can feel his shins more if they are rubbed.  He even said he is starting to feel more of his butt- in this case, that would be a good thing.....
