Hey everyone! It's just mom and me today. We arrived here in time to see my dad strapped in the tortoise shell (brace) and stand up! With help of course but still he stood up and walked a little. He was able to walk in the direction that the physical therapists told him which shows that he knows left right front and back. He was having a little trouble with his right leg. He wouldn't straighten it or put much weight on it. They say that might be because of the surgery on his back. The therapist also told us to give dad more specific instructions such as "touch your head" instead of "raise your arm". Chris, Lisa and there son Jonathon came by today to say hi. Dad talked a lot while they were here. After they left, my dad was pretty quiet so we figured he was sleeping. I worked on homework until five when we had to leave. We just got back and learned that while we were gone he read the sign that we made, it says We Love You Dad! And yesterday he thought he was in Africa. lol. He will be transferred on Monday to IMED. Love you all and thank you for everything that you have been doing to help my family.
P.S. Please direct some of your comments to my dad. My mom thinks that in a week he will be reading them himself.

YAH Levi!!!It is great to hear he is doing so well. Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear he is making such great strides in his recovery! I was just wondering what his state of consciousness is during the standing and also when he is talking/resting.
Hope everyone is still hanging in there. =)
We are so happy to hear of the progress Levi is making. We are all praying for a miracle and know that through faith, miracles can and do happen. Keep your heads up and Kelly, remember to take time for yourself
That is amazing the difference a week has made. I am so impressed with the progress Levi is making. It will probably be really excelerated once he moves to the rehab center. You have all been so loving and caring to him and I am sure that has made all the difference in his recovery. Thanks so much for keeping up updated, you are all on my mind a lot.
XOXO

Way to go Levi! We're still praying for you. Have faith, it's through faith all things are possible.
Kelly and family please read
Read D&C 98;1-3. I think it will help.
(Thank you Brother Crane and Brother Dela Vega for sharing this scripture with our family)
Love, Candice and the Hughes Family
