Josh had a quiet night. After
reducing his sedatives yesterday,
he is much more reactive to
stimulus. He opens his eyes a bit,
blinks, and flexes with his
arms and legs in response to what
he feels.
We gave Josh a shave and haircut last night. Both were
overdue. He looks like a different guy.
Josh will do some more PT today with the therapists. They
also have given us instructions to involve the family in
routine physical therapy throughout the day. What a great idea!
We would like to continue to thank all the amazing nurses who are
caring for Josh: Terry, Amy, Kerry, Mike, Skate, Jon, Nancy, Karen
Patty, Chris, and also all the doctors. Thanks also to everyone
at Columbia Boiler for their understanding, kindness and support
during this time.
Thank you all for your love and support. Say a prayer, hug your
kids and love ones and enjoy your family on Christmas Eve.
Love,
Mike, Darling and Rose

Hope this Christmas Eve brings Josh closer to recovery. We went to Christmas Mass and we lite a candle and said the rosary asking Mary to watch over and help Josh to heal. We prayed to the blessed baby of Christmas, whom with all things are possible.
