Many Thanks

Hello all. I wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone who helped us during the last few months since our accident. We couldn't believe the response from our families and from our ward families at home in Oregon. Thank you to those who offered help to my parents and Daniel's parents, and those who offered so much during those first couple weeks. Thanks to all our siblings, who were all so when we got back to Rexburg. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives.

Here is a quick update on the recovery process. My sternum feels almost completely healed, only sometimes if I lift something too heavy or use my chest muscles then I can feel some pain. But it gets better everyday. I still feel pain in my neck and back but physical therapy has helped a lot with that. When I first started started therapy (sheesh- that sounds like I am seeing a shrink or something) they said I had problems with my ribs and some of the spinal cord bones in between my shoulder blades. I have had some painful adjustments done that have been hard to get through but things are starting to feel better. They hope to see me for just a couple more weeks. I am supposed to use my muscles, and try to do a little more everyday. Daniel has been wonderful through this whole thing. I think we make a pretty good team. Thanks again to everyone who has helped Daniel and I. We are so blessed to have friends and family who love us and care about us. Happy fall. . .
