Monday, 10/29

WOW, today was a blur of meetings, phone calls, and tours of facilities. And with that all said, we still haven't come up with a decision on where to have Jer rehab!! We think we have narrowed it to two places, but not really sure. Jer did well today, he was up in his chair twice, and felt pretty good both times. He did make it to the gym today, and they worked with him for about 20-30 minutes. Small things for now, but none the less, it was activity! Tomorrow, we are hoping that the VA doctors will get to see him and evaluate him for a possible move to the VA center in the Bronx, (of maybe Syracuse--although that is not our first choice). We thank those of you who make the trip up to see him. Jer does enjoy your visits. Sorry it's so short tonight, but there really isn't much to report. The important thing is that his spirit still is good, and his will has not changed! Maybe tomorrow night I can give you an idea of where and when we will be moving to a new place. Thanks again for the concern and prayers. Carm

I know that you will pick the best place for Jer. Only the best for our Jer. Where ever he goes I know that he will work hard, that is all he knows. He will do nothing half way. Please tell him I love him and think of him constantly.

Small steps lead to big strides !!!!! His 20 or 30 minutes in the Gym sounds like a great big step. My Prayers are constant for Jer for his complete recovery. God Bless all of you and Zach too !! Love, Eliza

Glad Jer finally got to do a little something in the gym. And also to know he spent more time up and about. I keep praying also for his complete recovery and every positive happening, no matter how small, just proves he is on his way. Keep up the good work, Jer......WE LOVE YOU!!!

Regardless of the location to put our precious Jer, we are right behind you! I know you are bombarded with a mountain of paperwork. My prayers continue to be with Jer for a full recovery, but also with you..the family...as you embark on the difficult task of decision making. Hang in there! We love you!

Happy Halloween Jer!!! We just wanted you to know that a day does not go by that we do not think about you. It is good to hear that you are making progress, you know that saying it is hard to keep a good man down. Keep proving that Jer!!! If there is anything that we can do please just ask! You are in our thoughts daily!
Love,
