I know it has been a long time since I have sent an update so I thought on the second anniversary of Peter’s incident it is time to get back in touch.
The last year has been a lot smoother than the first year. Peter’s attitude and persistence is remarkable. He has a trainer working with his physical conditioning three times a week, acupuncture twice a week, pool therapy at least twice a week, sometimes three times a week and the LoKoMat every Friday at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center. Doing all of this and caring 13 hours at Tulsa Community College, taking Biology for majors, Economics, College Algebra, and English Comp and acing all four classes earning him a 4.0 for the semester. He will be taking chemistry and trigonometry this summer. He is enrolled at the University of Tulsa for the fall semester. Yes I am very proud of him.
Peter seems to be getting stronger. Sensation has worked it’s way to the bottom of the belly button. We still have a long ways to go but his attitude is great. One day I made the remark that I had to get him walking. He smiled at me and said “Dad, I’m not going to walk today, I probably won’t be walking next week, but I will walk someday.” That is what makes me so proud of him.
Tomorrow we leave for a family vacation to Las Vegas. Peter’s good friend Mark Jackson is going with us. Mark is a true friend, he has stuck with Peter all through this ordeal. We are very fortunate to have Mark.
We have been blessed with many friends here locally and all of you. Your prayers, cards and emails have been what has kept us going the past two years. Through your prayers and God’s healing power……………………………….
He Will Walk Again
Bud
