Dennis and I were able to get a much needed break last night and spent the evening out. We went to see The Pat Travers Band at the Brookdale lodge, they put on a great show. PT was one of Dennis' favorite artists, he saw him sometime around 1982 so he was excited to be able to see him again in such a small venue. The base player wore a followingjerry bracelet for a portion of the show and I slipped a bracelet on Pat Travers wrist at the end of the show. It would be kinda cool to have someone famous join the following Jerry community. Maybe they would be willing to do a benefit concert to help raise money for Jerry's trip to China for stem cell therapy, that would be SWEET!!!
Jerry had a rough day today, his nausea was at its all time worst and he spent the majority of the day sleeping, he seems to be feeling better this evening. We are watching the football games that we tapped earlier today, Jerry and I are going head to head in our fantasy football league. I think he might kick my butt.
A few days ago Jerry tried to use his adaptive utensils to feed himself, we discovered it's to soon, he was not able to scoop food onto his spoon. I look forward to the day when he can feed himself, I think he will get there it's just going to take some time.
I've finally got around to ordering t-shirts, I'm excited, I think they are going to be really cool. We decided to do blue shirts with white lettering like the bracelet as well as white shirts with blue lettering. I will get pictures on the site just as soon as the shirts come in.
Thanks for keeping Jerry in your thoughts and prayers.
God bless,
Katie

Hi Dennis Katie Josh Janea Jerry and Jessie.
Sounds like things are looking up for you, glad to hear you and Dennis had a good time.
Sorrow Jerry was sick but sounds like he is doing better. Love you all and will see you next month.
Love Grandma
Hah!! ..Jerry has been "Making Magic" on his FES bike!!! ..I'm very happy for you Jerry, and I am also very proud of your so supportive family!
Yes!! ..Jerry you are "Putting it Straight" as you head down this road, with a warm God and such great friends and neighbors alongside you. Mr. Travers once paid musical recognition to spontaneous events in life which seem to us to be an "Offbeat Ride", and yet which allow us to show our own remarkable personal ability. The kind of talent and ability that you are showing to the world (and back to God!!!) each and every single day!
Keep up the good work, Jerry! ..Keep practicing those routines! ..Keep "Gettin' Betta"!!
Jerry, watching you on your FES bike is something else for me to be thankful for this year. It's great to see you moving again like this.
Katie:
So sorry to hear about the difficult changes in your family. The one sure thing that Jerry can do is to share his testimony. The power of a testimony of the reality of Christ and the hope that is ours forever in Christ must overwhelm everything else. If the reality of Christ's presence can be real again to you and Jerry and your family, everything else will work itself out. Without the reality of the presence of Christ, and the truth of God's Word and promises, there is no hope for any of us. We will be praying faithfully for you and Jerry and Dennis and your family. God can use all of this for your good and His glory. He is able.
