Thursday, July 31st, 2008Again we praise everyone for your support, prayers and concerns. We know that God is healing Peter and today we had more evidence of his wonderful healing powers working. Yesterday the occupational therapist saw him move his left foot ever so slightly on demand. Last night while he was in the shower chair he flex [...]
Janet’s July 29 Update
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Janet’s Report….
Also, Peter was moved to a double bed to get him used to the transition for home. Peter (and Bud) are fighting the battle of little sleep as they are now on their own without nursing help during the night. Peter has to turn himself every 3 or 4 hours plus the catheterization [...]
July 29 Update
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Last weekend was another great time for Peter. His good friend Wes Moody was able to come out last Wed. and stay until Sunday. Xbox and Wii were the main enjoyment for these two and hearing them laugh and talk until 2 a.m. was music to my ears. It was additional therapy.
Yesterday Peter was back [...]
July 24 Update
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Today was another very busy day. The Miami Project was here to spend the day with us and shoot some video to be used to promote spinal cord research. From the very beginning of Peter’s occurrence, we vowed to make more people aware of the trauma of a spinal cord injury. This was the first [...]
July 23 Update
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008For some reason I did not get Bud’s update off Tuesday evening. I just kept waiting and waiting…… Since I was beating Bud and Peter in Wii bowling, maybe that was my reason. This morning Peter’s RN (Chris) came busting through the door!!!! Usually she is announced by hearing her laughter [...]
July 22 Update
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Today was a very positive day for Peter. He had pool therapy and was able to take about two dozen steps in the pool. The therapist are still trying to figure out how he is accomplishing this feat, but the one thing that we are sure of is his brain is telling his legs to [...]

July 17 Update
Friday, July 18th, 2008Peter’s day began with a phone interview with KRMG’s Rick Couri. Rick has been very supportive of us and has been posting my updates on the KRMG website. I do not know when it will air. Just tune in and Rick will probably let everyone know when it will air. I think Peter did a [...]
July 15 Update
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Not much change in last few days in Peter’s condition. His spirits remain high. He is having a few more muscle spasms and the pool therapist said she felt his groin muscle flexing when he was trying to do a scissor motion in the water with his legs. So we think we are getting some [...]
