"beauty is painful....and takes forever" spence got this biggest chuckle out of this. his comment was thats priceless and only Carter would think of it that way.
Sunday was a pretty quiet day, spencer practiced getting up out of the chair and standing on his own. his equilibrium is out of whack so not an easy task with only one leg working. he also practiced putting on his clothes which seem to make him happy. the occupational therapist had a whole routine for him to go thru to get the job done. we are still working on that though.
It sounds like they have a busy week planned for him so i am glad he got some rest today. Oh yeah and his favorite ...donna's chicken salsa,he had quite the appetite tonight.

thank you to all and i will keep you posted

Spence, you are doing great! Be sure to take the rest periods when you can get them, because as you know the body needs rest to heal also. You have been , and still are, an inspiration to so many. We love you. By the way, the Sox are playing in Vero Beach this coming Sunday, Tell your dad we will have a beer for him! Love you, The Florida Nutts

Spence,
Chicken Salsa...sounds very good...not to say delicious. Yes, Donna is a terrific cook as we all know.

Good news about what you are accomplishing on a daily practice..You are such an inspiration for all of us. "The manner in which you are tackling each and every mountain has taught all of us who know you and your family the most valuable lesson in life.
Love you Kiddo....

Hey Spence, I sure hope this works.You know me and the computer,,we are not the best of friends!! O.K. the red hair idea is so cool. Ya know in my YOUNGER days I was a natural redhead but now it's just the bottle color of the month!! Your mom still swears I,m really blonde! I can't wait to see you and as soon as I can get rid of this nagging cough you won't be able to get rid of me. Keep sending out those hansome pictures, you look "FAB-U-LUS". O.K. you got me ...there is no spell check on a blog! Keep it up Spence...you are the BEST. Love ya Casey J.

Hello Spencer!! I hope that you guys put pictures up with everyone's red hair!! You Nuttalls are SO much fun!!!

You Go! Getting up and down, dressing, never giving up - You are amazing! That is why you have come so far already!!! I will keep sending you strong thoughts and prayers!!

I am jealous about the salsa - you are one lucky guy with such a great cook for a mom. Sarah thinks I am a great cook too - I often offer her a variety for dinner - Lucky Charms? Cocoa Puffs? Maybe something healthy like Special K? Don't you wish I was your mom?

Hello to mom, dad and your red headed siblings!
Love,
Michaeline

Hey Spence!--
Ok, Marc says if he had enough hair to grow he would have a mohawk too!
If I was at THS I would be so rocking the red. I think my work would have a cow if I did it now. So glad to hear your progress. Hope this busy week goes well for you.
We send our love to you and the fam.
