Updates on Adam

Just wanted to give a couple of updates on what has been going on with Adam. He is doing great, so no worries!  He went to Vanderbilt about a month ago and had a driving evaluation.  They recommended that he start driving on post and around Clarksville on smaller roads and gradually progress to busier roads over the next two months, avoiding high traffic times, no night time driving, no highway driving and no driving in inclement weather.  Pretty much what we expected they would say.  Then he goes back for a second evaluation in a couple of months to see how he is doing and see if he can drive in more "advanced" conditions.  When he went for his evaluation he had only driven about three times for maybe five minutes, on post where the speed limit is 25-35 mph.  Before that he had not driven since December of 2008.  He is doing really well with driving and hopefully this will eventually allow him some more independence!

Also, Adam's medical evaluation board has recently started.  This probably does not mean much to those of you who are not in the military, but it is a long and cumbersome process that determines if you are "fit" or "not fit" to stay active duty and if you are not fit, then it determines your disability rating with the military.  So the process has begun for Adam and we really have no idea how long it will take.  But, we will definitely have many, many life changing decisions to make over the next few weeks and months so please keep us in your prayers that we will make the right decisions!
