Location: Tom, Oklahoma | I went down to day and had lunch with Ryon. He was in good spirits.....same old cheerful self........thank God........and that helped me, because yesterday when I was there, he was tired (I know that now) and it just got me down, because I thought HE was down. And I can't handle that. Now I know that at the end of the day, after rehab all day, he is zapped. They do work him hard. He is working on balance, and strength training.
Please continue to pray! |

| WOW! Just got on this site by chance. Reading this story brought tears to my eyes. Our son was injured 3 yrs. ago with a C5 spinal cord injury, and we went through what you are going through now! It is a long slow road for both you and your son. The prayers do soooo much to keep you uplifted! The BHW prayer group were amazing for us back then also. If you ever need someone to talk with, or to just "cry" to let me know.
Prayers sent your way!

Thank you so much Scott. We are holdin' our own!
I did not go to Texarkana today. Had some business I needed to take care of. It is so hard to stay away from him for even a day. I talked to him around lunch, and he was in great spirits........needing me to bring him some sweat pants. lol Will do that tomorrow.
I talked to his Case Worker this evening.. She said that they had their weekly patient evaluations today........Ryon is still too weak to transfer himself from bed to chair, but doing good in the wheel chair once he gets there. Ryon said that today he started lifting weights......he's getting stronger every day! :)
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support! |

Location: Tom, Oklahoma | I had lunch with Ryon today. He is doing good.........rolled his own wheel chair over half way to the cafeteria before he got tired! He is making progress and getting stronger! Then he went back to therapy........by 3pm, he was ready for a nap, just wore out. They put him back in bed, I suggested that he lay on his side, he said it felt wonderful!....he has been flat on his back since Feb. 2. I had suggested it before, but he was scared to lay any other way but on his back........now that he is stronger, he has more confidence to lay on his side. (I think he was scared he would roll onto his belly and not be able to right himself.) So we are taking baby steps and making progress! Thank you Lord!
Thank you all for continuing to lift Ryon up in prayer! Hugs to you all! |
