GOOD NEWS!

DJ started the "real" therapy today. He did really good too. He told me that he is now able to lift his left leg! The left one is the leg with the most injuries. He was also allowed to get into the shower, which is fantastic. Although, you can imagine that after laying still for almost 3 weeks, he is exhausted. He is also doing an upper body workout in addition to the therapy for his legs. I call him about 8:20pm and he was so tired we only spoke for a few moments. I told him I would call and check on him tomorrow. I couldn't stop by to visit this evening, Audrey had ballet class after work, I probably won't stop by the rehab until Wednesday at lunch. I have errands to take care of tomorrow after work. When I was talking to him, he told me that he stood up today for just a moment. All of this is great news. I am very proud of him. I wish I could have talked to him longer to get some of the details of the therapy, but, he was just too tired.

I know that all of the prayers going up for him is helping. I really believe that it will only be a matter of time before he is mobile. Maybe he will need assistance for a while, but it is better than being stuck in a bed.
He has told me that he is very thankful for all of the prayers that our friends and family are offering up to God on his behalf.
