Fletcher Update - Dec 18

Fletcher has taken advantage of all the love shown since returning home. We don't think he's pushed his chair on his on once. He's been allowing anyone willing to do it for him. He says he's on vacation from working so hard 3 straight months, Mon - Fri, 9 -4. Well, Welcome to the real world Fletcher. It's just a glimpse of what you have to look forward to after college. Believe it or not, some have been doing this for 20 years or more...hmm, think that may sound like a job or something. (smile)

Fletcher is really striving to regain his independence and with his best friend Rashard with him the community is in trouble. The two are headed to the mall today with friends. Mom and Dad are holding thier breath as it feels like him going off to college all over again. We're sure he's going to be fine since Shepherd has prepared him for this day with the many outings during therapy. Plus he's been with mom and dad now for 3 months.

From the desk of Fletcher and Mel: Thanks everyone for your thoughts, prayers, the cards, the calls with words of encouragement, the support, the food, and many other contributions. There is no way we could have gotten to this point without you! We serve an awesome GOD! We love you and thank you from the bottom of our heart.

The support that we have received from Cordova High, Lambuth University and the overall Jackson and Memphis community is unbelievable. Thank you all!!! Please continue to pray for Fletcher as he moves along this journey. This too shall pass and we will all be living witnesses of the power of prayer and GOD's work.
