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 40 - October 2, 2015

Jeff reiterated that his nurse today was very kind and gentle, but he tried Jeff's patience because of how slow he did things. Jeff has always been the type to try and be as efficient as possible at everything. Being so dependent on others is already a trial, having to do things at their speed can be even more difficult.

Because Jeff has worked so hard the past few days he took it easier today. His nurse accidentally brought him the electric wheelchair this morning and because he is still so worn out he just decided to use it instead of the manual.

Gordon and Sandy Hatt, more old high school friends, dropped in this evening. Jeff was grateful for their visit, even if it was unexpected.

For those of you who want to visit and are unsure of how to contact us to make an appointment, please leave a comment below and we'll get a hold of you or you can send Brandi, Jeff's Daughter, an email at braniannie@gmail.com. Jeff wants to give everyone who comes sufficient one-on-one time. He knows it's a sacrifice to leave your family, give your time, and put off other responsibilities to make the trip to see him and he wants to make sure he can give each of you the attention you deserve.

Jeff is looking forward to only one workout tomorrow and none on Sunday. He's had a busy and ambitious week and is ready for rest. He is most especially excited that he will be able to watch every session of General Conference. The uplifting messages and wise counsel of living prophets bring much needed peace and comfort, which we can never get too much of.
