Josh surrounded by friends and family that love him!!!

Here are some photo's of Josh so you can see how good he looks. After everything he has been through, he continues to smile. We could all learn from Josh and his positive attitude. Josh had an awesome day. He felt good and worked hard. He was so happy to get into a chair and leave his room, to visit with friends and family.

Anonymous said...: What a wonderful idea to set up this blog (thanks, Tesha). We haven't wanted to bother you at this busy and stressful time, but want you (your whole family) to know how much we are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers; love, Tom & Annette Slade; August 5, 2008 at 8:42 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.
