today is day 60 that spence has been in the hospital. the improvement from day 1 to day 60 has been phenomenal. on monday he tried going up and down stairs for the first time. the going up part was extremely hard but the coming down part was a little easier. just the first day of this so i am sure it will get a little easier as he goes along. in his OT spence did some exercises with his left arm and had a little more movement in his elbow and shoulder than usual. this is an encouraging thing for him. tomorrow he is off for a CT scan which will hopefully show the swelling has gone down enough that they put his bone flap back. Unfortunately we won't know the results until a week later. Keep positive that he gets good news and i will let you know whenever we hear anything

I just LOVE all the positive things that have happened for you, Spence and that are STILL happening...now that is something to shout about ;-) Keep up the good work!!!
It must have been great to be 'sprung' for Easter. Are you sure you are not pregnant? You didn't like bacon and now you do...hummmmmmmmmm? One's tastes change sometimes when one is pregnant...I know mine did! I never liked ripe olives, but actually I prefer them to green olives now ;-)
Sending much love and many hugs to all the Nutts.

Spence....
Every step forward is just one step closer to where you want and will be. Prayers are there kiddo, it will all happen for you.
Love to all,
Mary, Mary
Hey Spence,
Glad you hear you are progressing so fast. You definetly have the determination for it. Sounds like you had a good Easter. Must have been awesome to get out. Well, keep up the good work and get well soon. My thoughts are with you.

Way to go Spencer!!! You keep working hard and we'll keep praying hard because this formula has been working great so far! We love you and hope to see you soon.
Love, Aunt Jackie for all the Florida Nutts.
Go Spence! Although, I gotta tell ya, walking up stairs isn't any fun anyways. But it's awesome that you are! Good luck with your CT scan tomorrow!
Spence, the problem is that you have too much knowledge and it now that you have a "bone flap" your brain is growing, so you need to dumb it down for awhile. Follow what your Uncle Ted does. Watch nothing but Dancing With the Stars (I have Jason Taylor on my DWTS fantasy team, sweet!) Big Brother and Ameerican Idol. Oh, and root for the Yankees. Sorry Shannon, cheap shot.
that video of you walking up the stairs, plus seeing you do those arm movements made my entire week! i love you! keep up the amazing work and know that i'm rooting for you every second of every day. =]
<3 always bb. ;D
