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 21 - September 13, 2015 - From Jeff

Today has been a good day so far. I have gotten a lot accomplished on the computer, all before breakfast. I read the parts of the blog I haven't read yet and got on Strava and sent kudos to those who rode yesterday. I was also able to start to delete the millions of emails that I used to be able to do in one second, but it now takes a long time because I have to do each individually. So now I'm unsubscribing from most of them. It will be easier for me to do when Ryan and I get everything adjusted on the mouse. Now I'm all dressed and ready for therapy to start at 11.

While it's been a long week, I've learned quite a bit and been through a lot with the high's and low's. Good day, bad day, good day, bad day. No days are the same.

Thank you to all who came to visit me this week. It's great to visit with friends and family even though sometimes I'm so wasted it's hard. Thank you to everyone who is commenting on the blog, I really like to read those comments. Thanks to Brandi and Julee for starting the blog and keeping up on it. I can't believe all the pictures Brandi got and all she wrote from the one day she spent with me.

I would like to thank all those that donated to GoFundMe. It will go a long ways in helping pay the bills for such a severe accident. The helicopter ride, although it sounds exciting, cost $17,000 just to pick me up. It was another $258 per mile to fly me to Denver, with a total cost being $43,000 for a fun little helicopter ride.

At the hospital I am known as the happy, positive guy who likes to talk. It's great getting to know all the nurses and techs and others who are here at the hospital. I'd like to thank them for all their service, help, and great personalities as we go through this trial.

Family, friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ are all that really matters in life, but it seems we take it for granted when everything goes so well. Or maybe even when everything is not so well. But I challenge everyone to not take any of those things for granted and make the most of the opportunities you have with your family, your friends, and the church.

Jeff
