Wednesday June 10 midday

John has remained stable throughout the day and around lunchtime, the physical therapist came in and showed us some exercises we can do with him to keep his joints moving well and hopefully help him maintain some of his strength until he can do it for himself. We know that John has about zero percent body fat and I must say that when we work with his legs, I'm not sure if we are helping him exercise or if he is exercising us! He seems to enjoy this movement and if he is sleeping when we do it, he usually opens his eyes in reaction to it. John loves to work out so maybe if we can convince him that he is at the gym, he will come back to us.

Special Announcement:
The outpouring of emails and well wishes continues to amaze us. Thank you so much for the emails and responses to this blog. I forward them to Holly and she responds as best she can when she gets a free moment. When Holly and John go to church, John always wants to sit on the front row. She said that she thinks this is because he has a touch of Attention Deficit Disorder so sitting on the front row forces him to pay attention throughout the entire service. She would like to invite everyone to join her on the front row of their church, Houston Northwest Baptist at 19911 State Highway 249 Houston, TX 77070 and their website is: www.hnw.org and the service time is 10:45 am on Sunday June 14, 2009. Another option for those of you out-of-towner's would be to sit on the front row at your respective church as a shout out to John! The attire at their church is casual.
