#58 Update November 24th

Needless to say we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Last night we were able to spend some time with cousins Donna and Sarge Marvel which are the first family members that has seen Sean since his return home. He is still developing strength and each day continues to have promise. We are also thankful for all of our family and friends that have been there for all of us with countless hours of prayer, warm thoughts and well wishes. It is truly humbling to be so blessed, all our love, warmth and prayers to each and everyone of you.

#57 Update November 14th

Sean is still progressing steady and sure. We were watching NCIS on television the other night and I could tell something was bothering him. I asked him what was wrong, he didn't answer so I asked him what he was thinking about. I almost cried - he said "I was wondering if I will be able to join the Air Force again." I asked him if he missed the Air Force and he said "yes". I told him that Paul missed the Air Force too. I told him he'd have to get his hands and arms stronger and be able to pass the Air Force physical, he said "yes". He is able to take a shower by himself now and needs very little help getting dressed. Using his hands for detail things like eating, tying his shoes, brushing his teeth and combing his hair are still challenging. He needs more strength and less movement while accomplishing the tasks. We continue to be amazed and are thankful for each and everyday. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
