Friday..

Today has been good..the past few days have been good for jon, he has ANOTHER UTI which i need to run to walgreens to pick up antibiotics for that..
i just gave him a haircut and trimmed his nails so he's looking and feeling better..

my dad put on the emtion wheels so he's MUCH more mobile and can get in and out of the front door all by himself..he likes the freedom..he's been outside on the sidewalk with the kids..

we went to the cal stat LA and were REALLY excited for the possiblities there..it will be a 10 week session (mondays and wednesdays-i will take him mondays and robert will do wednesdays-i will need help on mondays as we will need to leave the house by 1230-1pm and will not return until about 7 or 730 due to traffic-UGH! if anyone is able to help me on mondays it would REALLY be helpful and again its only for 10 weeks)
they will exercise extensively with him AND put him on the "gait" machine, where they strap him in and he is suspended by the ceiling and there are two guys working his legs and one on his waist and he walks on a treadmill..so that was encouraging! they said there are NO LIMITS as to what they will do with jon, if he wants to try something-they'll do it..thats also encouraging..so its like therapy for free..we wont have to pay for it-which right now is helpful too!! so we are REALLY excited about this prospect and what it will do for jon..this is the 5th year they've done this research project and were excited to be apart of it..

we may also be taking a "road trip" at the end of this month to Danville, CA to chads house- his oldest son Aden is turning 12 and will be ordained a deacon, all the family will be there and so we may try to make it happen for us...it will take TONS of work on both me and jon, but its family! so with a lot of help-we hope to be able to go and to do all that needs to be done when we are there.

well that is about the update here- i have ALL my xmas shopping done AND wrapped-just need to figure out what to do for both sets of parents-our family does xmas ornament xchanges vs gifts (MUCH easier for all of us!)so i even have my ornament picked out and here at my house ready to give..

hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!
