shots of jon!


I got a couple shots of jon..although they are blurry..ill take better ones tomorrow!!
today he was doing GREAT! he said he really felt great and that things were improving all around...while i was there they were working on him leaning onto a table infront of him and then having to push himself up to sit up again..they are working on gaining upper body trunk control..he's VERY nervous about this..please pray that he will feel confident as time goes..so that will improve..he's just WAY too nervous to have that chest belt off!!! but he did a GREAT job!!! he worked SOOOOOOO hard to get himself back up again- its only a matter of time and more physical strenght and more confidence..he'll get it...he actually WORE the PT girl out!! he has a lot of strength in some areas..
the fundraiser flyers got handed out at school today..the principal actually called me first because they were worried about rachel..she seemed not to sure about the whole thing..i quickly drove down there thanks to michelle farrer!! thanks michelle!!
they let me use their conference room at the school office..i talked to rachel and told her what the flyer was about and that were having like a big birthday party at the park for dad! she liked that!! i explained to her why our friends were putting this together for us..she said she was nervous about all the kids coming up to her and talking to her and asking questions about her dad..she said she will talk to them but she doesnt want to talk forever about it...THAT IS SO ME!!!!!!!!! i feel the EXACT same way!!!! i guess for me atleast i have the "blog" so everyone can just read this instead of me telling thousands of people the same thing..but rachel doesnt really have a blog..so anyway i told her to tell the kids that he's doing good and getting better..they dont need to know any more then that..their parents can talk to them about it..she felt better about that..i also explained to her some of the questions they might ask her about dad..this way she had answers prepared instead of it all being flustered for her and then she starts crying and is a mess..
so all in all it worked out well..she asked that i talk to her teacher about her class writing letters to jon and them making a poster for him to hang up in his room..so thats what the teacher will do..
hope you like the pics!
