Update on Leighton

I know it has been way too long.....Leighton and I have been quite busy.......

Anyway, Leighton is doing good. He is a pro in his chair. He has passed all the required steps to get released from the Craig Center in Denver. So, they are planning on leaving by the end of the month.

That doesn't mean he is going to call it quits on the recovery. He has still been working very hard every day. They have started him on therapy in the pool, and he even got to drive a car with hand controls.

Leighton told me he is focused and ready to keep going at this aggressively. He is ready to move on to the next step. Which is moving to a rehab center in Seattle.

Leighton has been very fortunate to have continued support from you, through emails and calls. Also, his dad and girlfriend have not left his side. Also, his mom, sister, and many other friends have come to visit encouraging him to look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you for your continued support and I promise it will not be too long before I update this again.
