Enjoying life before the accident. Josh was about 14-15 years old. He and his friends made their own bike jumps.

About Me

My photo
We have 5 children and 5 grandchildren with one on the way. Eric and I were married in 1984 and are still together today. We met in church and raised our kids in that same church, We are still very involved at this same church. God has been there for us through many ups and downs in our family life. We have struggled with children with ADD, hyperactivity, strong wills, addictions, and one that became paralyzed at the age of 15 due to a car-pedestrian accident...he was the pedestrian. Eric and I have had to work through relationship issues (as do most couples), job loss, and financial problems. Even though we are believers, that doesn't mean we will never have problems. We just know that God is there for us through these struggles. There has been a lot of growth through these times.

8-18-12

Update on Josh: SUPER GREAT DAY!!! Josh felt well, he ate a good amount of food, and enjoyed time with his family (mom, siblings, fiance, and dogs). Kristi and Isaiah had a sleepover at the hospital last night and are going to do the same tonight. They have their snacks, video games, ipads, etc. I am so glad they are doing this. I'm sure it makes Josh feel like he is at home. I told them not to stay up too late and they promised, but I know my kids, they will be up late AGAIN!!! But, I think they are more tired tonight and will probably get to bed sooner. I guess the nurses woke them up every couple hours to check on Josh, so not a very restful night last night. Anyway, there are a couple pictures of Josh and Buddy, and Lisa with Izzy on Facebook.  You can find it on my wall - Susan Stricker Holt.
