Devin was able to spend about an hour in his wheelchair at the park this afternoon where he shot a few baskets and played catch with his older brother. It was a cool sunny day and Devin was very happy for a chance to enjoy being outdoors, if only for a short time.
As we are quickly approaching the third month since his fall Devin's patients with his confinement continues to diminish. It continually becomes more difficult to find a comfortable position that does not hurt and the days seem to drag on forever - its hard for an active person to be off their feet for extended periods of time and especially hard when thinking of activities that his friends are participating in that he would like to be. Having friends over has been a real boost, helping to keep his spirits high. He has also been keeping very busy catching up with school work having two months to catch up on and having only two hours a week of tutor time is giving him the opportunity to lean on his inner drive to keep focused and make forward progress every day.
We have a lot to be thankful for this year as we approach the holiday seasons - among other things we are thankful for your friendship and support - there are many people who's prayers have made a difference and a handful of wonderful people who have made sacrifices of their time and/or money to help in these uncertain times. Thank you.
