Week 4 at Craig- One Month

Its been one month since Jordan was transported here to Craig, and the progress so far has been amazing. Just this Wednesday he was transferred to the East wing at Craig, where the patients get more of a independent living situation. He now has a private room with  a small living/dining quarters alongside his bed. He is still in a hospital bed but hoping to switch to a double bed early next week to help make things alittle more comfortable and normal for him.

He had a busy class week, that included Physical and Occupational therapy, as well as mat classes and wheel chair class. Jordan has been able to pick up using the wheel chair rather quickly and is doing mostly everything without assistance from staff.

On Thursday he was able to talk with the Engineer tech here, who is also living with a spinal cord injury. He helped him talk through Jordan going back & working on the creeper again so he can continue to work on trucks and of course that lead them into talking about trucks, motors and racing which Jordan was happy to do.

Jordan had the day off from class' friday to celebrate the holiday, which was a good thing as he had a full load of friends come spend some the weekend with him. As well as getting a surprise visit from Steve Strobel which lead to talking about Trophy Trucks, Trophy Trucks and some more Trophy Trucks. Jordan wasn't complaining at all about that. We were able to have a nice bbq for everyone and finished the night off on the parking lot roof watching the fireworks.

On weekends there aren't any classes, so we are getting ready to head outside and enjoy this Colorado weather. Jordan is looking forward to going home so he can start working again, but he knows he still has some more things to learn here at Craig. He is expected to be leaving Craig August 6th.

So one month down and one to go!

HE THANKS YOU ALL for your support and generosity through this time!
