What an Inspiring Person

Rob started rehab on Thursday and now has 3 hours that he must commit everyday to rehab, half in occupational and half in physical therapy. He had the weekend off but asked the nurses to help him do some of rehab even on his day off. He is the most amazing person I have ever met and I am inspired seeing the progress that he is making daily.

Despite all of the pain in the broken ribs, he is pushing himself to do everything that the therapists ask of him and has even asked for more. He especially likes the workouts that they give him to stregthen his upper body. They are currently estimating 6 weeks in the inpatient rehab, but he must meet certain goals before they will let him come home.

I was able to hang out with him all weekend at the hospital and we had such a great time together. We talked, laughed and just sat silent enjoying each other's company. He is so sweet to all of the nurses and he was even rubbing my back today while I was feeding him lunch.

I love him more and more everyday and believe that we could all learn so much from him. He is taking everyday in stride and has such a positive attitude about our future. Of course, there are difficult times, but as we have decided there is nothing that we can't accomplish together with God on our side.

We love all of you and appreciate the continued support and prayers. I cant wait to continue giving the updates on how great Rob is doing. Thank you for being our friends and showing so much love during this time.

Love,
Heather
