On The Road to Recovery ....

James has been "down" since January of this year with a back injury and the resulting treatments, physical therapies and surgery. It's been a hard year. Last week, though, he had his follow up with the surgeon and got great news - his vertebrae are fused! James can now get off of the couch he has occupied for the last seven months and join us in living life.

James and his exercise partner, Jay Michael.

On the down side, I had to iron a shirt for church for him for the first time in seven months; I haven't missed ironing....

Now he'll have seven weeks of physical therapy and exercise then, after another doctor's visit - back to work! Wow. He will back to his old basketball playing, rough-housing with the kiddos self before long.

3 screams from the fans...:

I didn't even realize he was down for so long. Has he been out of work this whole time? I can't imagine what your year has been like. So glad he's better now. Make sure he doesn't get on that court too quickly. :)
