here they are: the 3 siblings,amigo's,muskateers however you want to put it. its not a stretch to tell they are all related.
spence got his own room today,they moved him on up (as the jefferson's would say-sorry bad 80's reference) to his own room. probably just a coincidence but the room he moved to, the girl was discharged on monday, i saw it as ,he is just a little closer to being out that door.
today he did more walking with his new orthotic (he loves that word). he played a game in group therapy today called "apples to apples" . i had seen the box but never played the game before.
seems like a simple game but as spence explained it to me i could see where the various thought processes came into play. they thought they were playing a game but i see how the therapists were actually testing them.
today one of spencer's best friends made his day. she had made a video for him of all you guys (and she is sorry she missed a lot of you) from THS wishing him well. i know myself and mrs Nutt had a tear in our eyes while watching and spencer loved every minute of it.
so thank you to everyone,again good thoughts and prayers

Hi Spencer,
What a great picture of you all. You look great. I love reading about your progress. I am so proud of you and all your hard work. Take Care and keep up the great work. I hope to see you soon. Matt and Ashley send their best. Ashley did color a strip of her hair with a red highlight - I think she may have used a marker. But the thought was there.

Love,
Lyn

Hey Spence,

It was awesome talking to you last night!! I was shocked when you picked up your dad's cell phone! Well keep up the good work and I hope to talk to you again soon. Love you :)

this is an awesome picture of the three of you. i wish i had more siblings, my sister and i are close, but thats nothing compared to the bond you have with olivia and carter.

i'm with erin and your parents on that video, alanna had an amazing idea and it had me tearing up as well, i always had an idea of how many people love you [i mean, come on, 122!], but to see them all giving you a little message was priceless.

i got a little more info on "the girl" so, next time i talk to you i'll give you the details. =]

i love and miss you, can't wait to see you on saturday, two months and still strong. keep up the great work, superspence!

<3 BB ;D

Don't let Heather fool ya - if she had a minute to prepare for that video, I had a quarter of that! Glad to hear you liked it, though, and I may be up to see you sometime soon... maybe... I hope... ah, we'll see. Haha, hey, I try.

Carter - You look exactly like your Dad at his age, except none of us knew why he had red streaks in his hair. Weird.

Spence - I read Brittany's last comment on Monday, what a brilliant insightful young woman. And she's stuck by you through all this, she's a keeper. I fell down the stairs the other day and Marsha was half was out the door before I hit the floor.

Keep moving on up
