Update #41

From Dwight, Nick’s Dad:

Over the past three weeks, Nick has gone from standing on his own 10 seconds to 1½ minutes! He’s walked about 30 feet with a walker and very little assistance. Other than that not a lot more to update on his progress.

Nick came home last week and he’s doing a great job of getting used to getting around the house.

The Wednesday before he came home, our church’s middle school group came to visit Nick in the hospital – yes, the whole group! They sang songs, played silly games, and ate cupcakes. Nick loved it! You can see photos of that below.

We also have photos of him coming home below. We thought it only appropriate to bring him home in the same car he came home in when he was born. He was very excited to come home in the “Red Car.”

It’s great to have him home in spite of the adjustments…

Dear Nick and family,
So happy to know you're all together again, at home. Lot's of difficult adjustments, I'm sure, but what a blessing it is from God, to know you have each other to love, cherish, and be thankful for. I continue to pray for each of you, every single day. I praise God for the "wonderful work in progress", that all of you are. Only He can cause every circumstance you face, both individually, and as a family,"to work together for your good". So my prayer for you today, is that you may be encouraged, and your faith renewed, as you remember God's sure promises, that nothing can ever separate you from His love, or stifle His perfect plan for the Brinkerhoff family.

Always believing with you-
Your sister in Christ,
