First time in RCP pool

On Saturday we got Jerry in the pool here at Redwood Christian Park for the first time. It turned out to be easier then we anticipated and he enjoyed it very much. Here are some pictures to mark the occasion....

I fixed the music so it plays with the pictures, if you watched earlier today you probably noticed the music was messed up.

Jerry really enjoyed getting in the pool to cool off and hang with friends. It was much easier to get him in and out then we anticipated. It would be nice to get him in the pool a couple times a week and maybe do some movement without the flotation next time.

The pool seems to be the happ'n spot! GREAT slides, Katie!! The light that shines from all of you, your devotion, your joy, your enjoyment, the friendships, the respite of water, the pictures tell all. So glad you kept at it and got them all posted!

Gracious Father, you have endowed the Macs with tenacity. Everyday is a new experience, some harder than others and some made easier by the friendships they've bonded from before and after Jerry's accident. We give you credit Lord, for orchestrating the people in our lives just when we need them. Thank you for the courage and ferocity the Macs live everyday. We have gained so much through joining in their journey and it is because of Your hand we continue to grow. We pray for continued improvement through healing for Jerry, Allie, Timmy and now we add Jacob Kirkendall to our chain of young people who need our prayers of healing. Thank you for your presence in our lives! Amen

Hope your day is smooth and comfortable.

Hey Robin thanks for the heads up on the bed. We should be getting a bed with alternating pressure mattress it's in the works we just haven't gotten it yet. Thanks for following Jerry's progress.

Summer 2009 Highschool went around and around in the pool to make a whirlpool! It was awesome, I got sucked under. I found this page while looking for a video of it. Help me out, plz.
