Tell me Josh isn't a survivor!!! I'm so glad to hear of his progress. I know the days ahead will be filled with hard work for him and his family as well. Some days he will wonder if it is worth the struggles, but the military has the finest people available to work with spinal cord injuries...not only the physical, but the emotional side as well. He's a hero in my books!!
