Jeff's Journey will be a place where family and friends can come to get updates on our dad's condition and progress. We have a long road ahead of us and we hope that this blog can serve not only as a place for updates but also as a journal of strength and remembrance. We have faith in our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ and we know that through our faith and perseverance our dad will be healed. Though we have been told that the chances are slim (1 in 200,000) that our dad will walk again, we will be by his side to help him beat those odds. Our dad will make it through this challenging trial and we will be there to help him every step of the way! We love you DAD & GRANDPA!!

Day 15 - September 7, 2015

Today marks the two week anniversary of Jeff's accident. It's been a very long and difficult two weeks. We are extremely happy to report that Jeff is in stable condition and if nothing changes he will be transferred out of the ICU tomorrow. That means more visitors at a time, more physical therapy, and more progress!

The physical therapy regimen will be extremely vigorous, for which Jeff is grateful. He says they told him it will be an 8 hour day, like a full time job. The doctors are all impressed by how motivated he is to get going.

They used a special board today to get him into a standing position for the first time and he did really well!





We are so thankful for everyone who has visited so far! His therapy will be on a schedule so it will be easier to schedule visitors once that's been established. Just give Annette a call to know when is best. Jeff and Annette look forward to the time they get with all of you!

As things have become more predictable and everyone now has the option to visit with our dad, we will only be posting updates every two to three days from here on out. If you ever have questions you'd like us to answer you can post it under the comments on this blog or contact Brandi or Julee.

Of course if anything big happens we'll post it! We're going to continue to track his progress on this blog for his benefit, our benefit, and anyone else who is interested. We are grateful for such a readily available way to keep everyone up to date and involved.

So very very grateful for everyone who has donated financially to help our dad! Your kindness is overwhelmingly appreciated! We are just barley over half way to our goal!! Every penny counts & even the smallest amount is appreciated. Our hearts are full and whether you gave $5 or $500 it means so much!  If everyone you knew and everyone they knew and so on only donated $1.00 I know we could meet our goal and beyond. Please help us share our dads story - http://www.gofundme.com/7s2p4cpk.  May God bless you as much as you have blessed us!!!

For everyone who has already given of their time, financial resources, and moral support... you have no idea how much you've helped us all. Words cannot express our gratitude!
