2/15/08. we can mark this as another begining point. during physical therapy spencer stood for the 1st time on his own. he had a couple of things to help balance him and he was on his right leg only but we will take it. he is trying his own version of PT too, he likes to constantly rub his left hand and move his left leg with the right one. i believe he is trying to speed up the process. we constantly have to tell him to relax and let the therapists do their job.
oh, and he did admit he misses school, i think the social part and not necessarily the work part or the getting up at 6 am part.

Hmm...Megatron is quite impressed by the rate at which you are recovering. For a pitiful human you are impressive. You remind me of myself, as I have been able to completely restore my power since my incident with the Allspark. Once you are fully recovered, I wish to offer you a place among the ranks of my decepticons. It would be a great opportunity for you if you wish to rule the universe.

Spencer,
You are one that cannot be described easily. I'm so glad to hear that you are making such strides in your recovery. If PT doesn't have a problem with your extra curiculum, keep up the good work. We're routing for you. I hope the rest of the Nuttball's are holding strong. Love ya all, The Earleys

Good Job Spence, keep up the good work. The homework, by the way, is waiting for you - all of it. Not to worry, in case you were...Stay strong and God Bless.
