James continues to be re-introduced to utilizing his body parts. James is continually improving; learning how to walk, talk and take care of himself independently. James is expressing himself very well in terms of his needs and desires. He recognizes his loved ones and always tells us he loves us. Thanks for all your prayers. We will visit James in Temple today for his spine appointment.

James continues to be in stable condition at Texas Neuro Rehab. Center, Austin, Texas. He has a team of therapists that are focusing on physical and speech therapy. James is not speaking at this time although therapists are training him to communicate by using other parts of his body...hands..eyes. We visited "Saturday and James was sitting up relaxing in his room. He still has good and bad days though. Thanks for all your prayers. We will continue to keep you updated as to his progress. We are working to help James remember things and people right now. He is receiving daily therapy. James has learned how to breathe independently as well.
