Hello all - it's Jen. I showed up this morning to surprise Robert for his birthday. It worked - he was surprised!
It is so good to see him and see how much progress he has made since I left him at the end of August. I wish you could all see him - he is wearing people clothes and sitting up in a chair and hoisting himself in and out of bed and into his chair, doing lots of physio and pumping iron like Chuck Norris on a "Total Gym" commercial. I am so incredibly proud of him and how fast he is progressing, what a guy. Hero material. Medals for bravery and courage!
Tomorrow is his 20th birthday and I am overwhlemed with gratefullness to have him alive to see that day and doing so well. He has already overcome so much and I know it is thanks only to God and to Robert's incredible effort and character. I saw the PPC card and many of your other cards and gifts (CHOCOLATE whoooooohoo) that you have all sent - you are all so kind.
Send your birthday wishes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT!
We are so blown away by the progress you have made! It has probably taken a lot of effort to give control up to God and keep positive enough for him to do his work. You are amazing. Hope your 20th birthday is a good - it will be memorable for sure- a huge stepping stone in your life! Blessings to all!

Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Thank you that, because Robert dwells in the shelter of the Most High God, he will rest in your shadow. He will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. You prepare a table for Robert, a table groaning under the glorious weight of your wonderful riches, in the presence of his enemies. You anoint Robert's head with oil; his cup overflows. Goodness, mercy, blessing, love, healing, righteousness, hope, joy, peace and faith follow Robert all the days of his life, and he dwells in the house of the Lord forever. Amen. So be it.
