Well, it was another busy day for Jer--I guess he might as well get used to it--once in rehab it will be all work and no play!! We are beginning to see some movement in Jer's legs--not a lot, but some--and everything starts with small steps. The rehab therapists all say that they can see the muscles trying to do their job, so I am encouraged by that. We are praying now that it will continue and get stronger each day. We still haven't settled on a rehab center yet. Jer would like to take advantage of his Veteran's status and go to the rehab center in the Bronx (they seem to have a speciality of Spinal rehab). If he has to wait to get into there, he will stay in Syracuse at the University hospital but will go to what they call 2 north. It is the "inhouse" rehab center. We were hoping to hear from the VA/Bronx today but didn't be the time we left Syracuse at 3:30 today. (yes, Ron & I came home for a while!) Hopefully tomorrow we will hear something more positive and can get moving. The longer we wait, the longer it will take him to recover! I know a number of you haven't seen him since he was hospitalized, so I am including a picture of Jer and the family on Sunday. It was the first day that "we" got to take him outside or even off the floor, so it was a big day for us (and him)--and besides, he had the nieces to help him with the wheelchair. Until tomorrow, Carm

It was so good to see you today Carm. I feel like we have not talked in ages. I was so glad that some of our prayers have been answered and that Jer is moving a little. That was the best news you could have given me. I love you all, and I will keep praying.

Wow!! I do believe that all of our prayers are keeping Jer on the top of God's "To Do" list......And that is where we want him to stay so that we can keep seeing improvement every day.....I am so glad to hear that he has regained some movement. That has got to make him even more determined to keep at it and win this thing.....with all of our prayers and the love and support that he is being shown from EVERYONE, I know that things will continue to improve for him each day......WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Not to get all gushy on ya Jer, but man you inspire me! Your outlook on everything is unreal, and YOU make ME stronger! Lookin' forward to hopefully seeing you in a couple weeks in the Bronx. Love ya, bud.
Lookin' great Jer. Great to see a pic with you and the family. I hope that you can get your choice of clinics and I hope to see you around the holidays.
Good to hear you may be heading to the Bronx. As you know, I worked at the Bronx VA for about 3 years. I know the Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) rehab center very well, even worked on the unit for a short time. The attendings are wonderful and have been working with SCI patients for a number of years. The dietitian just happens to be one of my best friends. You will be in good hands there. (and I can even promise some hot women!) Best of luck! I'll be prayin' for ya.
