More improvements

The pain management seems to be under control and Jason is sleeping well. They have also custom fit his brace and he notices a considerable difference in the comfort of it. As of last evening, he is allowed to eat food again and has had a great appetite, free of nausea.

There will be a physical therapy consultation today and they are looking towards transferring him to a multi-trauma unit. He has been told that he will need to limit the climbing of stairs, no lifting more than 10 pounds, no pulling, twisting, or reaching too far. So, unfortunately, he won't be participating in any dancing for a while. Rebekah and Jason continue to be blessed overwhelmingly by the support of the community of people that have rallied around them.

Becky and Jason,

You don't know me, but I am a friend of Melissa Lathrop's. She told me what happened and directed me to your blog. I just want you to know that there are several of us out in Oregon thinking about you and your family as you recover from this. Sounds like you are off to a good start and are well cared for. I'm a Physical Therapist like Melissa, so listen to your therapists! :)

Hi Jason. I am so sorry to hear about the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Make sure to let us know if there is anything that we can do (this includes you Rebekah). As for the surgery, you just couldn’t let me be the only one on the block with titanium holding his spine together. Of course I am kidding! If you have any questions about recovery, I would be happy to go into detail about mine. I also have some literature for you that might help some.

Take care of yourself and let us know if we can do anything!!

Oh man, all of us were really looking forward to watching you audition for 'So You Think You Can Dance'. Bummer. I guess that means no more breakdancing, either, huh?

As Wendy said in a previous post, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you guys in the days/weeks/months to come. You know where we're at. You obviously know my limitations and what I can/can't do, but one thing is for sure... my back is certainly stronger than yours! :) I'm always down for some heavy lifting and the boys and I are more than willing to entertain the girls in the cul-de-sac anytime either of you feel you'd like a break.

J - I'll let you know how my eggs tasted tomorrow morning when I see you... planning on stopping by again on my way into the office.

R - Call me on my cell if you're down for another Venti Americano w/ half & half - Right?

Love you guys,
JC

Jason and Becky,

Hi. You don't me either, but I heard about your accident from a mutual friend. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers as well. Your story is an amazing witness to your faith and God's providence. A true blessing to me. What an amazing God we serve! Please know that I will be praying for a quick and complete recovery and that God will allow you to use your story for His glory!
