Update - Sunday Jan 6th, 6 weeks from Accident

First I want to thank everyone for telling me that Tanner is
going to be ok. I have had a few people ask me if that bothers
me when I hear that. My response is that, that is what is
holding me up. There are times I find myself in doubt, wondering
what is going to be. I try to never go there, but it does happen.
Someone asked Scott "Why this would happen to him when he
does so much for others? Why we are being punished?" Life
happens to everyone. That is not something we have asked
ourselves is "Why?" The other side to that is "Why not?" I
wouldn't wish this upon anyone else. I know that the Lord is
not a punishing God and he would never give us a trial we
would not be able to make it through. With his help of course.
I found this quote from a book that our Cousin gave Tanner
that we often read through together.
FAITH IS NOT COMPLACENT; FAITH IS ACTION.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH AND WAIT. WHEN YOU
HAVE FAITH, YOU MOVE.
by Betty Eadie

Through this last 6 weeks not one person has be complacent. The
extreme makeover that was put together in less than 4 weeks.
Which made Tanners transition so much easier. He has no limits
on our main floor. He often goes outside for a stroll. He even got
stuck in the dip in the road when it was dark. His friends were
back at the room playing xbox. Tanner said a car drove by and he
was kind of embarrassed so he stuck it into reverse and got out.
Not sure why he couldn't have taken the sidewalks but they would
have much to easy. The roads were covered in snow. As you
can see he hasn't changed. He is very independent when he wants
to be. One of the hardest things for me is I want to help to much.
I see the simplest things become such a struggle. And when I do
jump in to help he says "Don't Mom, Don't". Kind of of like when your
little child wants to do it himself. I guess this is my chance to learn
patients again!
Tanner is going to the Surgeon tomorrow for his follow up. I will
let you all know what they say. Only the positive! I have told the
Doctors at the hospital that if they don't know 100% I would rather
not hear what they have to say.
Have a great day,
Stacie
