Oops--we forgot to update on Sunday as we promised! Jer is doing good--he continues to progress at Therapy, and still brings smiles to the nurses faces when we show up in Syracuse! (imagine that). Being the kid that he is, he was "bored" sitting home and just working on getting better, so he decided to see if the school could use his services. He is now an Aide for OMCS and loving it. It gives him something to do besides therapy and doctors appointments, which he squeezes into his day! The dental work progresses. Today, or maybe tomorrow, he has dental surgery planned to replace the tooth that was totally broken in the accident. He met with some new VA doctors yesterday, and was encouraged by their offers of help. And like all the docs, they were impressed with his progress to this point. The Orthopedic doc is going to take a look at Jer's shoulder in the next couple of weeks--seems that is acting up now, but the doctor thinks it may just be the stress of using it so much--he uses a lot of upper body to do transfers to the cars and such. Hopefully that is all it is and it can be taken care of with just some meds.
Well, that is about it for this week--appointments, appointments and appointments, but progress at each step of the way, so we are pleased! Thanks for the continued prayers and support! Carm

Dear Jeremy, and your Mom and Dad,
What a wonderful surprise for our family when your family and YOU Jeremy, came to our nephew Dana Carr's fundraiser in January! The 'connection' with Val and Courtney became much more than just colleagues. Thank you Jeremy...for all of us there, it was NO DOUBT your presence, and that of Dana's through video conferencing, that truly exemplifies faith, courage, family, and 'connections'. Something both you and Dana have.
We, Dana's 'Uncle Terry' and 'Aunt Judy', will be at the Community Center March
8th !!!!
