Sunday Update

Guess who's playing catch with his Dad? It's Jamie!

This morning at 10am, Jamie was able to throw one of those little squishey stress balls back and forth with his Dad--not too bad for a guy with his wrist strapped to the bed...

Jamie is a little restless now that he's awake and alert in the ICU, so he passes the time by keeping those nurses busy. He is clearly happiest when his Mom and Dad can spend time talking with him, and this morning he was eagerly answering questions with a nod or a shake of his head. He still has something to say (or a question to ask), but the trach prevents him from talking. I tried to get him to write a note on paper, but since he couldn't really see what he was writing, it didn't come out very legibly. Or maybe it was kanji? We'll have to work on that some more.

Tomorrow is a big day, because it's Jamie's birthday and because the orthopaedic doctors are going to do a procedure to correct the breaks in his legs. Let's pray for a quick, successful surgery and continued progress.

Jamie is in our prayers, as well as the rest of the family! We just heard about the accident and are so thankful for his recovery so far! Still a long road ahead, but God is faithful and will still do great things for you all!

I am so glad to hear of all Jamie's progress...He's very lucky to have such a huge support group.
Let him know that once he is better and able, all of us at Animink have a big surprise planned for him, and can't wait to see him! Happy Birthday tomorrow, and I'll pray for the success of the surgery all day!
Can't wait until he's well enough to visit...we've really missed him!
