BRYN MAWR

Yesterday was a steady pace in therapy for Jason.  He doing better everyday with walking - and starting to develop some toning in his legs and feet which should continue the more he gets moving.  They continue to work with him on swallowing but a lot of that is just time for those brain connections to grow back and then he can start working on getting some actual food in to fatten those arms and legs up!

I know lots of people are wanting to visit Jason and he has been cleared for family and friends to visit.  Hospital visiting hours are listed on their website but I'll list them here:

M-F   4 - 9
Sat    12- 9
Sun   10 -9

Please be sure to contact Carolin enough ahead of the date you want to visit so he doesn't have more than a few people at once.  It's good to also keep in mind he's working hard in therapies until 3:30 most week days and will be exhausted right after.  If you don't have Carolin's cell phone you can contact her at : cares1218@gmail.com

 I took some pictures over the weekend of Bryn Mawr and though it was overcast it still looked very inviting:

These two I "borrowed" from the Bryn Mawr website since it shows a sunnier day and different view of the grounds:

 



And this is the pool which I'm guessing Jason will have some therapy in at some point.

 

 

We are really excited about how involved Bryn Mawr is with the art community and Carolin has already talked to them about how much Jason loved drawing when he was younger.  He spent lots of time in the hospital for his asthma in middle school and I remember him filling many sketch books up!  (For those of you who don't know his actual degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University is in Computer Animation and Digital Media.)  We can't wait until Jason is ready for art therapy!

 

Brian is working on the Oct. 12 benefit website now and should have it up in a few days with all the exciting details of the evening.

 

We continue to hear of new prayers and thoughts for Jason everyday and according to the statistics for the blog over 16,500 people viewed it last month and we had 912 views yesterday alone!  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
