Stan and Deone Petersen along with Rich and Joanne Hayes visited JP on Saturday. We were greeted with a huge smile, hugs and handshakes. It was so good to see JP and Tina. He is in a great rehab center and is getting quality care. We visited for about an hour and a half telling stories along with catching up on families. JP laughed along with us and tried very hard to join in. He is still limited to a word or two then searches for what he wants to say. It’s frustrating for him but he waves it off with a smile.
His right arm is paralyzed but he showed how he can lift his right leg. He is walking some with assistance. He can feed himself and looks healthy as you can see in the picture. His attitude is amazing and his commitment to rehab is unwavering. No doubt he will get the most out of his current circumstances.
He enjoys visitors, cards, and texts. He is not able to answer them but someday he will. He will be transitioning to a different rehab center in a couple of weeks and we will let you know that address and timing when it happens. In the mean time, please keep JP, Tina and family in your prayers.
