Thursday - June 18, 2009 - Angel and I went to visit James at the rehab house. On our way there, between the freeway and the house, we pass this street called, "Wanda". Since that happens to be my little sister's name, I "had to" take a picture of it. ;-) hee hee hee


When we'd finally made it to the rehab house, I was really amazed how well James is walking around all, and without the use of a cane! He moved pretty quickly too. We're just so glad to see him doing so well, especially with all of the PT/OT appointments. Six hours of daily exercises can wear out anyone, but he pushes himself to do more than requested of him. He's determined to have a full recovery as soon as possible. It's wonderful to see him do well, but I just hope he doesn't wear himself out. Great job, James! I'm very proud of you!!!

Michael, James' brother, was there to visit as well. It's great to see his family and friends so supportive. God has really answered our prayers with James!!! Btw, if you ever talk with James, he'll tell you that he's not responsible for his actions and for what he says. He's still having a few issues with filtering all the things going through his brain. To his own defense, James jokes about how he had been revived several times during those first days, and how he was in a coma! Granted, it was a medically induced coma, but it was a coma nonetheless! I'm so glad God blessed him with laughter! PTL!!! ;-)
