Friday--one long week later

Hi all: We spent the later half of today with Jer. He was sitting up in the chair in the hallway when we got there--we weren't sure if he was happy to see us or if he was "high" on drugs, but he was waving away!! They took him down to the gym, but the movements make his quezy, and his blood pressure takes a dive to the cellar, so he didn't get to do any exercise, but at least he got to take a tour around the gym to see what they have to offer. When the brought him back to his room, they decided that he needed to be on another floor--so, he is now in 7A326--with all the moving, he got quite tired and wanted to get some sleep, so his company left--we said goodbye and of course, Mom tucked him in!! As usual, he is sucking up to the nurses! Some men never change!! But, we love him just as he is! talk to you all again soon.

Thursday night 10/25

You people are unbelievable!! I can't even phathom the support we have received from everyone! Ron and I came home tonight for the first time since Monday for the induction of Ron's Dad into the Hall of fame. Jer really wanted to be here, and I was his standin--I took pictures and video for him. When we left today, he was waiting to see the physical therapists--AND, they showed up and took him to the gym. You can imagine that made him very happy because any of you who know him well know that he isn't the type to sit around and do nothing for even a few hours, so to be down for 7 days has been a killer for him!! We still don't know where he will be going ultimately for therapy, but I have certainly looked into a lot of places--the biggest thing is to get him accepted at some of them. Thanks to all of you who are looking into therapy places for us! I do appreciate it!!! I'll keep it short tonight--the girls have done good updating today--Val thought it was important that she post the pictures of him so that everyone will see what he IS GOING TO BE LIKE AGAIN!! All that fun loving, smiling Jer can't be gone forever!! A lady in the waiting room for the ICU told us that God loves those who smile and as you notice, in every picture there is a smile on his face! We will get it back with God's help and the support of all of you! THANKS! Love to you all.
