Well the last several days have been new adventures for Justin. He was able to stand in his standing contraption for a combined total of 27 min. (longest at one time, 13 minutes) The therapists thought that was a "WOW" factor. This helps keep everything in line and weight distribution. Justin has been able to be outside to enjoy the awesome fall weather. He even has met and chatted with other spinal cord injury patients that are on his floor/wing of the hospital. He said it was like sharing "war stories", each of them telling what happened to the other and what C- level that was injured.
Justin was able to feed himself pudding with his left hand with just a little dribble on his shirt, but overall he did a great job on Friday, 8-26! He was unable to grab and hold his sandwich, but we have at least progressed to pudding feeding. On their weekly sleepover, Justin was so excited to have Angie and Michaela stay up with him to watch T.V., (while his dad went to bed) because all three are night people. He however, did not want to be bothered in the morning- mornings are no good! His kids were able to see him most of the day on Saturday.
On Monday, Justin and his hospital 'peeps' went fishing under the supervision of Madonna personnel. He was just very excited to be outside and be by the water! Four days until the Huskers play!! GO HUSKERS!! We are going to paint Justin's toenails black, for the blackshirts!! Pictures will be taken!
Also, to all who I havent been able to reach, if you are interested in anyway to help out on his fundraiser on Friday, Sept. 23, we are having a meeting at the Police Union Hall on THU 9-8 @ 7pm. Cool huh? 9-8-7... The support and kind words have still been coming and are very appreciated! Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers, they must be paying off a little at a time! Have a great and SAFE Labor Day week-end!!
