Today was another day on the path to recovery for Jared and Dwayne. Jared was able to have food for the first time since the accident. Although Steak was not served as he had hoped. Jared was able to eat a few saltine crackers as well as some Jello. He was also able to drink water. Dwanye on the other hand has said more about food and water than his Dad but will not be able to eat or drink for a few more days. He has mentioned to the nurses on more than one occasion that "they are not keeping him as hydrated as he should be". He has however been making progress with his physical therapy. He was able to sit up with the assistance of his physical therapist. He then was able to walk a short distance on his own. He is a very strong young man and has not asked why this has happened to him, He has been possitive through this experience. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Perry family as they deal with this bump in the road of life. We also pray for the other families effected in the terrible accident.
