Gascon Reception
Friends,
I’m so bad at getting news out in time. Forgive me!
I just wanted to give you a brief report on the reception held for Juan Carlos, Connie and the boys last week. They had a wonderful time seeing several friends for the first time since the accident, and so many people brought and/or sent gifts.
According to Sylvia Bradshaw, at least 125 people came – probably more. Two large tables were packed high with gifts, groceries, and supplies. A money tree at one end of the table was full of sizeable bills. It was a time of laughter, catching up… and good tamales and other food!
Here are a few pictures from the recption:

Jon: I felt I needed to comment on June 29 update with Juan Carlos: At Worship, Juan moved his right forearm and shoulder, for the first time for me. I was so excited. He does something new for me almost weekly. I don’t think the family notices these little changes, since they are with him 24/7. JC asked him to move his arm in Spanish, and he willingly moved his shoulder, and his whole forearm. This means that innervation is re-establishing itself as time passes. I don’t know if this will lead to total control, but he is now able to move the left foot, and right shoulder and arm. PRAISE GOD!
