Update from Virginia - Friday

Shepherd is just as amazing as its reputation. The doctors, nurses and therapists have all been outstanding.

Thomas has undergone lots of tests – physical, mental, etc. This morning he was awakened at 7:00 for a blood draw, 7:30 for a shower (which he was able to do standing up) and off to therapy. He was able to WALK on his own. I have been cleared to walk with him now. He wears a gate-belt around his waist just in case he should stumble. So far he's walking well – even up the stairs. He's a little slow and of course tired, but he's scoring well on the cognitive tests as well. Miracles abound. Prayers are being answered, but we still cherish your prayers for Thomas.

One other thing. . . Please forgive me for not returning phone calls, emails and texts. I'm trying, but I just can't keep up. I'll also apologize for having to hang up quickly if a doctor comes in.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  1. Virginia, just worry about Thomas, Daniel, and Jim. We'll all still be here later.

    Just saw the WSB-TV story; it's so inspiring! I'm sure Thomas is a little overwhelmed at his newfound stardom. Better get that man an agent!
