Lunges, Squats and Hills!

Lunges, Squats and Hills were on Adam's agenda today! He did a lot of stretching with PT and worked on squatting and doing lunges! Means his balance is getting better! Woohoo! He walked around Parkview today and did the hill behind the hospital. Dewayne was over with him again today so that Mom and Dad could get some work done! Dewayne, thank you for all the time you are spending with Adam! We feel so blessed to have such a great family friend! I know Adam enjoys having you there as well! It's always wonderful to have a friendly face who is a doctor that you can talk to. On the first day Adam came in, Dr. White (a cardiologist I work with and who I used to baby sit for) came by the hospital to check on Adam and our family. Then today while I was at work, I find out that his wife was a speech therapist (a director) for a while. He told me to call if we had any questions. It's amazing how God puts people in your life for certain reasons. The White's have always been wonderful and I know that the day of the accident it was SO great to see a familiar face. So thanks Dr. White for giving me some piece of mind the first day and again today! Adam continues to improve and we are so very thankful and grateful for that! Thanks again to all who pray for him daily and keep him in your thoughts! He still has a long road ahead, but I know we can face it with all the prayers that are lifting not only Adam up, but our family as well! Thank you!


And to end the day...my favorite picture of Adam yet!
With his wonderful therapist, Amy.

  3. Mom thinks it's great that he did lunges, hills, and squats! After all he's had an awful lot of Blizzards and Wings of late! Keep up the good work "Toad"...... I'd have a "real" weight issue if I'd eaten as many as you have... Love You ALL!

  7. That is awesomw. God puts people in the lives of others who have treated them with the same respect they receive. God obviously has big plans for Adam and your whole family. On a lighter note, we need to get him out of that Colts shirt!!! God bless and thank you for taking the time to post. The Allison's
