Recap for the week: Justin still is unable to move from his chest down. He can move both shoulders and arms up and down but still unable to move his hands and fingers. However, he is able to move his electric wheelchair with his left hand. We have rubbed and massaged his hands and he says that they tingle quite a bit afterwards like they are asleep. He says he feels slight pressure and warmth when you touch his legs. So anyone that visits him, feel free to rub his forearms and hands. (Only his forearms and hands--Craig and Mike Trapp!) He continues to have therapy M-F, weekends off. Between 11:30-1:30pm he is chilling in his room and after 3:30PM. Visiting hours are 6 AM-10PM everyday. You can visit anytime and if he is in therapy, you can watch him and be with him while he does that. He has a phone in his room he can answer: 402-486-8114.
Thank you all to the visitors so far: Craig, Taysha, Matt and Leslie Jacox, Jared, Gina, Uncle Steve, Uncle Paul, Cousin Carissa, Brooke and Eric Crouch!! (If we forgot anyone, we do apologize.) We would like to especially thank Craig who has spooned with him overnight. Justin's brother, Drew, came back from the Air Force in Tucson for 10 days and also had many "spendies" (sleepovers) with Justin. Grandma Nancy has as well. Ashley cant be with him at this time, as she is finishing up her Army training but will soon be home to be with him.
Justin is in very good spirits and of course is harassing his nurses and all are enjoying some good laughs! We are hoping his second week of "boot camp" brings good results towards his recovery.
