I SPOKE TO JEREMY NORMANS MOTHER KATHY TODAY, HE IS NOW ON THE 11TH FLOOR OUT OF ICU FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10+ WEEKS!!
HE IS TALKING AND KNOWS WHATS GOING ON AROUND HIM ASKING QUESTIONS ON WHATS BEEN GOING ON THE PAST 2 MONTHS. HE DOESN'T REMEMBER THE BAD THINGS WHICH IS GOOD BUT IF HE ASKS THEY ARE TELLING HIM. HES DRINKING COFFEE AND EATING SOME THINGS NOW, HES LOST AROUND 150 + POUNDS WHILE HE WAS ASLEEP. ROBERTA HIS WIFE HAS BEEN WITH HIM THIS ENTIRE TIME AND SHES A PRETTY TOUGH PERSON IN MY BOOK PLUS HIS FATHER AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY. THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME ROUGH TIMES BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DAY BY DAY THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. HATS OFF TO JEREMY FOR BEING SUCH A FIGHTER AND HATS OFF TO ALL YOU MEMBERS THAT HAVE PRAYED AND THOUGHT OF HIM DAILY. HES OFF KIDNEY DIALYSIS AND HIS LIVER IS HEALING, THEY REMOVED THE TUBE FROM HIS NECK AND ONE FROM HIS FOOT!! HIS WEDDING RING NOW FALLS OFF HIS FINGER SO THAT WILL BE A MUST TO GET RESIZED. HE AND HIS FAMILY KNOW THIS WILL BE A LONG JOURNEY TO FULL RECOVERY BUT LOOK HOW FAR HE HAS COME ALREADY. WHEN I SAW HIM LAYING IN THE HOSPITAL 2 MONTHS AGO WITH ALL THE MACHINES HOOKED UP TO HIM I JUST PRAYED HE WOULD MAKE IT. I WANT TO DO ALOT WITH HIM AS HE LOSES HIS WEIGHT THINGS THAT ARE SIMPLE FOR OTHERS TO DO BUT VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE THAT WERE OUR SIZE, I WAS IN MY HOME FOR YEARS WITHOUT GOING OUT AND WHEN I WENT TO HIS HOUSE SEEING HIM IN HIS BED BROUGHT BACK MY MEMORIES OF MY PAST LIFE OF WEIGHING 745 POUNDS. I WANTED HIM TO SEE IT WAS POSSIBLE TO START A NEW LIFE AND NOT GIVE UP ON THE OLD TIRED OVERWEIGHT ONE. I'M STILL NOT IN WHAT YOU CALL MINT SHAPE I STILL HAVE ACHES AND PAINS FROM CARRYING AROUND ALL THAT WEIGHT BUT NOW I CAN GO ANYWHERE, FLY ANY PLACE, DO THINGS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THATS ALL I EVER WANTED FOR JEREMY JUST TO EXPERIENCE A WHOLE NEW LIFE WITHOUT HAVE WALLS AROUND HIM. HIS FAMILY WANTED ME TO TELL YOU THAT THEY LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF THEIR HEARTS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS. EVERY DAY HES GETTING BETTER ITS ONLY TIME TILL HES BACK HOME. THAT IS THE NEWEST UPDATE ON JEREMY NORMAN. THANK YOU ALL ONCE MORE FOR HAVING THE HUGE HEARTS THAT YOU ALL DO.
