It is a different feeling that you are not in Utah anymore. I was actually driving out in South Ogden one day and I thought of coming over to the ICU but then I remembered that you were gone. I hope you are feeling better, making progress, and keeping a positive attitude. You have helped strengthen and build people's testimonies, and I, with many other people, know that you can make it through this. You are a great example to all of us, and hopefully I will get the chance to go to Denver. Road trip anyone? Hope all is well though, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and God loves you. I send my love and my faith to you Josh, and wish you the best. I hope to see some great updates soon :) Love always, Chelsea Waterfall; August 24, 2008 at 8:27 PM

Josh was spending the day with his family at the Holmes family reunion. They were all having some 'fun in the sun' at Pineview Reservoir. Josh had been impressing everyone with his wakeboarding skills and took a couple bad wrecks. Later that day he was swimming off the shore at Middle Inlet with his brothers Justin and Colton. Josh was standing in the water almost to his waist when he did a swimmers dive to go in for a swim. Josh remembers hitting the sand. He was instantly paralyzed and was not able to come up. His brothers swimming close by noticed his back arched and his head under and wondered what he was doing, they swam over to him and helped him out to the shore, Josh coughed up some water, and told them he thought he was drowning. Justin touched Josh's leg and he could not feel them. 911 was called immediately, within 4-5 min. the paramedics were there and called life-flight. Josh was transported to the Hospital.
