Hi, it's Josh. As you probably know, I suffered a brain injury in a car accident on December the 12th, 2010. After 3 weeks in the Paoli Hospital ICU, I was transferred to Bryn Mawr Rehab to begin my recovery. On May 24th, I was discharged to home to finish recovery in the BMR day program. Friends originally set up this blog to help my family more easily communicate with everyone. Please leave a message or comment below (if you choose to) or contact me on Facebook or Gmail. Thanks!

Wednesday November 23rd, 2011
Josh stood in therapy last week for 40 minutes
with minimal assistance during one of his PT sessions.
He stood today in the pool without assistance for short
periods of time. I can feel when I transfer him that he
is regaining his balance again.
He continues to fight walk on his own. This has proven to
be more difficult than we anticipated. However, we knew
this was going to be an uphill climb. Interestingly,
he is better climbing stairs and walking backward
than forward. Still he pushes on.
Josh is doing complex math in his head, surfing the
web and Facebook on his tablet computer and keeping
us all laughing with his dry wit. He is hilarious!
We can see a difference already, having therapy 3
days a week. Thank you.
So as we prepare for the holiday tomorrow, we are so
very thankful for our friends and family who
supported us through this most difficult year, and
of course to have Josh, happy and healthy,
at the dinner table with us again.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Enjoy your family and your Thanksgiving celebration!
Much Love,
The Bonjos
