I'm really happy with how it turned out! One correction is that we had fellowships, not scholarships. Minor detail. And mine was only a 2-year fellowship; Jimmy's is a full fellowship.

The folks in the first picture are Jeremy and Renee. Jeremy is Jimmy's mentor and is super duper nice. Renee was Jimmy's primary nurse at UW Hospital. Since she is also married to a quadriplegic, Renee was a HUGE source of knowledge for me! I'm so lucky to know her!

I can hardly believe it, but Jimmy has been home for a month now! Crazy! We are doing really really well, and are so excited for Christmas!

Jimmy got his permanent wheelchair today! It's super awesome and shiny and new!

Also, Jimmy has been interviewed by the Wisconsin State Journal about the mentoring program at UW Hospital. We had a photographer stop by our house and he stayed for about an hour and a half. He kept telling us to act natural, but it's hard to do that when a stranger is snapping pictures of you while you are trying to cook dinner. haha! The photos might make it in the paper, but might not. It should be printed on Sunday!
