Thanksgiving Day

Hi all: thought while I was here with Jer I'd update you all. His day has been good today--he had a short therapy session this morning, and then we all converged on the day room for our dinner. Val, Shaun, the kids and Niki and Zach joined us, which made for a nice dinner--sort of out of the ordinary for us, but never the less, we were together and thankful for the time we have had together. Tomorrow Jer gets right back into therapy pretty much full time. He has sessions from 9-11 and then from 12-3:30, so his days will be full up! But, he is looking forward to the work, and the pain that will probably come with it. There must be hurt to gain strength and mobility. I am going to show Jer how to get on to the blog so that he can update everyone when we can't be here to see him. With his schedule, we probably won't see him much during the week. Take care and hopefully everyone had/has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Carm

Brother Jer,

Hope you had a great thanksgiving day even though I know you would have rather been home than there. I have continued to keep you in my thought and prayers. I am glad to hear you are back doing rehab again. Keep up the good work and keep on smilin'. Hope to be up to see you again soon.

Love Ya,
Dawn

P.S. To Ma, Pa, Niki, Chris, Val, Zach, and families. I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving also. You guys are such an inspiration to all, and are the true meaning of FAMILY.

Love,
Dawn
