hiya everybody! this is roberta... a quick update: jeremy is doing well. his progress is taking much longer than we thought, but we must be patient. we're still in high hopes that he will one day stand and walk again. some quick news... he and i both decided to continue our education. i will be attending a local college to gather credits for my orginal college (i will go back there when jeremy is ready to move back to columbus). jeremy and i discussed the possibility of him returning to school. he decided that becoming a comic book artist is not his calling anymore... instead he would like to become a motivational speaker. he is trying to attend an online college called Cornerstone Christian University. he will graduate with a degree in christian councelling and can become a pastor. we're really excited and hope that everything will go through... they do not accept grants or scholarships. i believe this is his purpose in life... to help and counsel others. which also means that he will finally have access to the internet and can communicate with all of you! :) so, until then... take care and love ya! ~Robbi

Hi guys, I am glad to hear that you are staying strong. Although I don't post much, if at all, you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Good for you to not care what others think. You guys have to do what works for you and everything else will fall into place. Keep your spirits up and know that there are people out there who are on your side. Blessings, Sabine

hiya eveyone. my comp messed up on me, so sorry if this shows up twice. i got a few requests for an update on jeremy. he is doing pretty good. his birthday was on july 17th... he is now 22 years old. he now has a neon orange mohawk. we've learned not to care what people think anymore and we just want to be ourselves. he is still dropping pounds, but we do not have a weight on him yet. i have a meeting with medicaid next monday morning... they want to take away his wheelchair. while i'm there, i will mention that we need to get a hoyer scale to get him weighed. on his brithday he sat at the edge of his wheelchair and almost stood, however, things have not been as great since then. we've had troubles with the bed and him sliding out of the wheelchair. he was sitting up 3 times a day for about 45 minutes each, now he hasn't sat up in almost a whole week. we're giving it a try tonight and hope he can handle it. there will always be setbacks, i just pray that they become smaller. for every day he lays in bed, it takes two days to get up. it's been a year and a half. his therapist thinks there is nothing else to be done here at home, so we've called a few facilities and we're waiting to get information. he wants to walk so bad and i want him to walk more than anything. i know he can do it, but the stress with people and circumstances are killing us. we're strong and we will win this fight... i hope it's soon. love, robbi

Robbi, this is good news and I , too, believe this is the year for him to walk !! We will keep praying for him !! Love ya, Judy

Hiya everybody! Here is another Jeremy update. He is doing very well. He has a small skin infection, but it looks to be clearing up. Still no weight on him, but we are in the process of making it happen. An audiologist will come tomorrow to give him a new hearing test. He might get hearing aids through an organization. He had 19 sores, and now has only 3. He is now sitting in his wheelchair twice a day and, with his arms, can lift his backend off the cushion. I know that this is his year to walk. :) love, robbi
