Leighton has been really busy lately. He does therapy from 9a.m. to 4p.m. five days a week. Leighton said that he has been working as hard as he can. Some of the stuff he is doing seems like it should be easy, but for him it has been a challenge. But, he is not letting it get to him. Leighton has started to master his new wheel chair and doing everything he can to get out of it.
For right now the doctors are focusing on getting everything that is working properly to perform at its best possible. Leighton is doing a lot of upper body work and spending time each day on the mat working on balance and core stability. He said that they do have some fun each day. One day they played basketball and another they did rugby. He needed new wheels for his chair when they got done with rugby.
Leighton is taking the same approach to his workouts today as he did to his training. He is giving everything he can every single time. But, he is still his normal self having fun and joking around. Apparently he got in a little trouble not waiting for the nurse to help with some things. He decided he could handle some jobs himself that he was supposed to get help with and now he is on "probation". He said he will be on his best behavior not to go too fast on the program. :)
Thanks to everyone for keeping up with their letters and e-mails. It means a lot to Leighton to know how many people are still praying and supporting him.

Hey! I have been having an extremely hard time trying to post to this blog. Just wanted to check in and see how things are going? My nephew Chadd went ot a fundraiser at The Racer's Edge in Canyon Country, CA. I didn't hear about it until after it was done otherwise I would have made sure my son and I were there. Hayden is off to Vegas on Saturday for his first World Mini! Hope all is well! Stay Strong and hang in there! The Cole's
