Sunday, 11/18
Hi all--we are sitting here with Jeremy--yes, we finally got internet connection in his room. He is doing well, and says to tell everyone hello and thanks for the support. He got the stitches out of his back yesterday, and tomorrow he will get the rest of the staples out of his knee. So, for the first time in 4 weeks he will be "stitch free"! Must be some sort of celebration for that don't you think?? They are still using the CPM (continuous passive motion) machine on his knee--right now, the bend is set at 90 degree bend. He doesn't seem to have any problems with the movements, so hopefully that means that it is healing appropriately. He is hoping to be in rehab by Monday or Tuesday, but time will tell. Hopefully he will be there by Thursday otherwise, we will have to all sit around his bed to have Thanksgiving dinner (could be interesting). The movement in his left leg is very pronounced now--and we are excited about that--of course, any movement is good, but this is wonderful. The right leg has some movement, but it's hard to tell how much as if he's not in the machine, he's in a straightleg brace. He can move the leg from the hip, so I would say that is good. Will post more tomorrow night--maybe have more news about possible move. Love to you all. Carm & Jeremy

Jer I am so happy that things are going strongly well! We had a good breakfast at Moose this am. I even won the basket from the farm! If you have internet, will you be able to email now? Love to all of you, and keep the faith so it will keep you.

Hi Jer, I'm so happy to hear all of the good news. I hope you are back to rehab very soon so you can get back to moving around. It is all so great to hear. Bet you like the internet in your room, probably makes things a little easier. Good luck with you knee this week.

Jer it was very nice to see you the other day. Sorry it was so short. I couldn't believe how much you could move your leg compared to 2 weeks ago. It was great to see that improvement myself. Keep that great smile on your face and that wonderful spirt you have. Hope that things keep going uphill for you and the family. Hope that the cookies were good.
Love you
