Fletcher Update - Dec 1

Wow-December already! We hope you each had a wonderful holiday. Thanks to all the family and friends that changed their Thanksgiving plans to call or come to ATL to share time with the Cleaves Family. We love you all! What a wonderful special Thanksgiving it was. Fletcher even received a surprise visit from his girlfriend (you should have seen that smile!). Thanksgiving is officially over but never stop giving thanks to our creator!

Well, Fletcher is back on the grind this week. The Lokomat machine is fixed and Fletcher did his 4000 steps on Monday-wheewww! He's scheduled to be back on it two more times this week. Fletcher continues to work on building his strength to assist in getting out of his chair independently. He's no stranger to the weight room. Keep pushing Fletcher!!!

The Cordova High football team held their annual banquet Nov 30th to cap off their 2009-10 season. It ended a little premature with a first round playoff loss, but was still a great season! Congrats guys!!! Also a BIG THANKS and LOVE to Coach John Dowtin (Coach D) who officially renamed the tough as "Nails Award" to the "Fletcher Cleaves Nails Award". Fletcher is so very pleased and honored! The the first ever recipient is Kerrick "KO" Owens....Congratulations K.O. ....WOLF PACK FOR LIFE!

Thanks for all you do for Fletcher everyone, we don't know how we could do it without YOU!!!
