Josh working hard at rehab.
Goals played a very important role in Josh’s rehabilitation. I say this because Josh has proudly reached each goal we’ve set throughout this journey. We started with goals that would be obvious to notice when it was reached. Such as, moving out of the ICU at CHOC hospital to a regular room on a lower floor. Then it was getting out of the medical hospital and moving to the rehabilitation hospital. That was big! But each goal was big. All the goals had been preparation for one big goal. To get back on school campus as a senior in High School and graduate with his class! He had to walk with a certain level of comfort ability, speak and understand conversations, and regain a level of independence in order to get back to school.
I am proud to report Joshua has returned to his Valley View High School campus on January 11, 2010. Seven months after his injury to complete his second and final semester as a Senior. He is enrolled as a full-time student spending a full day on campus with his friends. Big, big stuff and well done.
