    Dale reminded me to give an update on Don! This week he drove himself to Abilene!!! It is 45 miles away and his doctor released him to drive. He loaded himself into the truck. Took the wheels off of his chair and put it in the back seat. Then he drove to Abilene to West Texas Rehab. Unloaded the chair and rolled himself inside for three hours of weight training and walking with the aide of his leg braces and a walker! He then loaded back up, drove to a restaurant to have lunch with his cousin. After lunch he drove home and did it again on Thursday!
    He said they worked him pretty hard but, he still was able to do all that he needed to do! Their new home will be ready in a few weeks and he is going to walk in the door! GOD IS GREAT!!!

    Prayers for his continued recovery. I understand the ups and downs everyone in the family can go through during a long recovery after helping my wife(T5 para).

    Just happened across this thread and read through it. The power of prayer at work. I pray for his continued recovery. It seems he has the right, can do, attitude.

    CONTINUOUSLY AMAZED! Don just left going to Houston to take his Daughter to the Houston Stock Show to show her calf. Great part is that HE IS DRIVING! 395 miles and should take around 7 hours. His Wife and Mother in law are following him, his Daughter "Cashley" and his Son "Callan"! They had borrowed a wheel chair lift to go on the Suburban and when they were going to leave this morning, it would not lift his wheel chair. The lift on his truck is bolted to the truck so it could not be moved to the Suburban. With his determination, he said, I will just take my truck and Y'all can follow me! The man does not know the meaning of " YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" His friend that he was going to help the day of his accident, took the calf with theirs yesterday. Look out Houston, Don is heading your way!!!

    Have to brag a little about Don's 10 year old daughter. Her calf didn't win at the Houston Stock show BUT, She won two awards anyway. She won the 4H Hoof award for her continuous work with her calf ever after her Dad's accident. She also won an award for perseverance in helping her Dad in everything he needs in his daily life. She has become his legs whenever he needs anything done and, has done so without complaining. Also was given $1000 for each award! Makes me ONE PROUD Grandpa!!!
    There were 4 awards issued in the State for one award and 7 for the other!

    Don is going to a Sporting Clays Tournament in Abilene Texas today. It is a benefit for the West Texas Rehab Center. He will be shooting a Browning 20 guage over/under. He is very nervous because he hasn't shot a shotgun in two years and is afraid he can't last to shoot 100 rounds. He will be shooting from his wheelchair for the first time. I have no doubt that he will make it! More ANSWERED PRAYERS!!!

    He shot 58 out of 100 two years ago. Before his accident. He shot 55 this time!!! He corrected me on the gun he used. It was a Beretta 20 ga. O/U!
