October 8th, 2009

(Greg Johnson) I was able to spend about forty-five minutes with Josh and Rebecca today. What sweet words to hear when I walked into the room and heard Josh say "Johnson." From the last time I visited Josh, I can see so many changes. I want to report to everyone that Josh was up and walking, and smiling. Although he didn’t walk far, it was walking. (I think he was trying to get away from the nurse that was helping him with his physical therapy.) He was also hitting and catching a ball that was thrown to him. Rebecca was very excited seeing him progressing. She said that on Monday he was barely able to walk and now he is mostly doing it by himself. The hospital is keeping Josh very busy. While I was with him, he went to physical therapy and was starting speech therapy. Following that, he had therapy to help him start to eat again. All of this happened before 10:00 AM. What a schedule! I forgot to mention that in between all of this, he finds time to flirt with all the nurses.

There is one request from Josh. He needs some really cool stickers to put on his helmet.

    I did not know that Josh was flirting with the nurses. Something that my mom must not have told me. Hehehe. That's so Josh, flirtball....

    I talked with Josh about the flirting. Josh said that he wasn't flirting with the nurses. He says to tell Brother Johnson that it's not true. So, Brother Johnson, it's not true. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! jk.
