In My Mind I Can Do Anything


Aaron had his evaluation at Kennedy-Krieger today. We arrived shortly after 9 am and wrapped up shortly before 1 pm. His physician was very well prepared and very thorough in his evaluation and examination of Aaron. His attitude was one of hope and lofty goals (not an attitude we have encountered very often). His recommendation for Aaron is to begin therapy at Kennedy in about 6 weeks. He wants Aaron to further strengthen and stablize his breathing first and also begin “traditional” outpatient therapy close to home as a “warm-up” to his Kennedy program. He talked like their program may really kick Aaron’s butt; Aaron is up for the challenge! Everything about Kennedy from the staff to the facility itself was just very impressive and we all felt very encouraged when we left there today. In the picture below on the wall behind us are the words “In my mind I can do anything”. There were encouraging words like that at various places in the building.

Jaime was in Myrtle Beach for the past 4 days. Please keep her and her family in prayer as her grandfather Paul is in the hospital as a result of complicatons from his diabetes. She was unable to be at Kennedy with us today, but she is here at our house now and she and Aaron are cuddled up watching a movie. A perfect ending to the day. 🙂

    You’re in my thoughts every day. I have hope always and am encouraged daily by many things for you…and hearing what has come out of Kennedy-Krieger further lifts us all.

    p.s. did you see the sunset tonight? It was beautiful to put it mildly.
    love you

    Aaron, you were in my thoughts and prayers all day on Monday as I wondered how things were going in Baltimore. It is so good to hear that it was an uplifting visit with caring, competent professionals. Jamie, you also are often in my prayers as I think about you traveling a lot, working, wanting to be with Aaron as much as possible, and caring for Tory who also needs you. Woody and Gina, you have been an inspiration to me throughout my life and continue to be in your service to and support of Aaron. Love you guys and remember…

    Thanks Greg for the encouraging post. Praise God for the doctors hopeful attitude. It is so important that everyone around Aaron give him positive support. There is no room for negativity. So my prayer is that everyone Aaron comes into contact with at K/K sees that beautiful smile, handsome face and his determination and encourages him throughout his rehab process. Brian really enjoyed his visit with his friend on Saturday. I will keep all of you in my prayers also. God bless you all as you start this new phase of Aaron’s recovery.
