I wanted to update you and to Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my sweet cousin who was in a diving accident. It has been difficult and William has worked so very hard. He is being released from the Therapy Center on Friday of this week. He still has a very long way to go, but he is working so hard. Most of his paralysis is on his right side, but while most took Sunday off, he worked and worked on his writing. This was the result and it was done right-handed. We are so proud of him and his attitude. His mom says, he puts the Will in William. Please continue your prayers for him when you remember.



I was praying for him today and this line from a movie (sorry I don't remember it's title) came to mind. “God promised that everything will be okay in the end. So if everything is not okay, then this is not the end.”

Sounds as if he has a positive attitude which means everything.

He does, Kay. He looks so funny with some of his PT's. They are little bitty girls and there they are holding his balance by a belt around his waist and towering over them. He's 6'4" and about 270lbs.

This is definitely not the end. It will get better and better. He is still in our prayers as well as my great nephew who had the injury that WILL HAD when he dodged the deer,the week before .Will. Only 30,married an no children just his g. dad my brother and his wife. Travis is his name,my brother's daughter died from a massive H.A. when Travis was younger, leaving Travis and his twin brothers who were only 15 at the time. A yr later Travis's dad committed suicide saying he couldn't live without his wife. My bro. and his wife finished raising those boys.. Will will get better but it 's going to take a while. It's evident he is very determined and that's a big part of the battle. He is in our prayers/Lillian

I've been praying for Travis, too, Miss Lillian. How is he doing? How are your brother and wife dealing with this?

Thank you, I'm so excited. With his type injury there usually isn't this much recovery in a year much less 3 1/2 weeks.
