Love your blog, Brooke! We're all rooting for your dad and love reading about his recovery, since there isn't much we can do to help right now. Tell him we're praying for him and all of you every day! The Hamms
Brooke, Tell your Dad that EL Clembo wants some of that action.....I am calling your Dad out right here on the web in front of all his fans. I challenge him in a thumb war and after that eventaully a arm wrestle war, leg wrestle war! Tell him I am already stretching and gearing up for the event.....Give your Mom and Sister a big Hug from me to hold them over until I see them.....and for you, I have a special EL Clembo hug! It doesn't suprise me how awesome you are....the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!! Tell your Dad (Bird) that El Clembo said, "Get those thumbs ready" cause I will show No Mercy!! Luv to All.....Clembo
Hi Brooke - Please tell "John P. Wethington" that he is in my prayers. I worked with him in Mississippi over 25 years ago. He is one of the nicest people I have ever met. You are so lucky that he's your daddy!! Please let him know that I am thinking about him and looking forward to his full recovery. Get well soon John P.!!! Liz Carroll Voss
Wethington Fam, We are praying for full restoration. So glad to hear all of GREAT progess. Don't let the swallow test or anything else get you down or discouraged, they are little blocks in the road. Great Decision on Rehab at Fraizer. ..... lots of hard work, but we all know your Dad never turns down a challenge. His competitive little buddy, Trent wants him to try THUMB WARS on the RIGHT. Even if you don't see movement, he is still working and it is important for him to see that hand is still part of him right now. Take it slow, one day at a time and don't let yourselves feel overwhelmed.
Ultimately we have an incredible God who is fully in control. He is definitely at work in this, so easily seen in the closeness that he has brought to your family and community of loving and supportive friends. As much as we hate it when things go differently than we plan, it is the trials in life that force us to slow down and recognize what is truly important. You guys are SHINING-- count it all joy and ENJOY the journey. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. If you want to begin some PHYSICAL TORTURING before Fraizier, Tony and/or I are glad to come show you some things you guys can work on with your DAD. Much Love and Prayers, Your P.T. friends... Tony and Terri Kolter
PS . Carley would love to have Maggie over anytime to play or stay.
As an insurance agent, I will be the first to tell you that trampolines suck. So, stay off of them in the future. We are really glad to hear that you are doing so well. Thanks Brooke for coming up with this great idea to keep us all informed. John, you are a strong man and in great shape, so I have no doubt that you will get through this better than anyone. As a guy who has had some minor experiences in the hospital, I can say that rehab is critical. Give it all you got as soon as you can and do more than you can stand - if permissible. They know what they are talking about and it really helps with the long term results. Ok, I have to maintain my reputation for not saying much, so I am out of here for now, but will be keeping up with the blog. Our entire family will be sending constant prayers your way.
Brooke... What a wonderful job you're doing with this blog! I'm sure your mom and dad are very proud of you. Tell your dad that his cousins are praying for... We love you and pray for a speedy recovery! Cathy (Millay) Stover
