July 15 Update

By Bud | July 15, 2008

Not 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 muscle movement in different locations. He still has no feeling below the belly button so we are hoping that will come back in due time.

Peter had driving lessons yesterday and that went real well. He said he felt very comfortable driving. Monday evening we took off for a stroll around the surrounding neighborhood and then Peter remembered that it was the night that the Newfoundland dogs visit the hospital., We had to hurry back. He really enjoys those dogs. He is now asking me to get a dog. He wants a Labrodoodle like his sisters. Whitney’s dog, Ajia, is a one the whole family has fell in love with.

Answered prayers are happening. My friend Bob Brown in Joplin is returning home after a seven week stay in the hospital from a heart attack and Chris Henderson is making progress back in Tulsa. We need to add Katy Rennie to our prayer list. Katy is from my home area in Kansas. She is a 17 year old that has a spinal cord injury from a car accident four weeks ago. She arrived here at Craig Monday. Please pray for her recovery. Pray for Peter to continue the muscle improvement and to start regaining sensation in his lower body.

God Bless Everyone,
He will walk again
Bud
