Popular Post bigbird 60,580 Posted May 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2023 Just a bit of an update for everyone. James was able to get up a couple of days ago and started moving around using his walker. This morning he is up moving around without any assistance. He says he's still pretty sore but the mobility is coming back quickly. Hopefully by Monday we're close to 100%. Also... James uses music for both therapy and coping. He's a natural at piano and can play any song he has heard. It's amazing! He has been wanting an 88-key keyboard he can have in his room for when he's hurt or frustrated (Our piano isn't very mobile). He is excited at the possibility of being able to get one. He's researched a few and we have plans to try some out at a music store here in town when he's ready. It's neat seeing him excited and hopeful. Thank you again, everyone...for everything! 7 2 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again, everyone...for everything! i get the therapy and copying as it did the same for me. tell big shooter bono said in his latest book that all his songs were prayers to god. music can heal a weary soul. if he can find a roland? it has been a minute but i believe you can get a good one for a grand or less. but omg they are so sweet. other musicians might have some ideas just in case you are not sure. if he got one with a built in recorder he can write his own stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know it is hard for him to deal with a setback like this. Tell him we love him even more, and while God's plan is often difficult to comprehend, it is the perfect plan. There are better days ahead my friend!!!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
