LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS....IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!
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.

Hey Josh, this is Chelsea here. It was great to see you today. You are looking great and are making amazing progress. I hope the hospital is not too dull of a place. If you do have a t.v. in your room, ask the nurses to get you "the burbs." Great hospital movie and I know that one from experience. Well stay positive, remember God loves you and is watching over you, and have a good recovory and hopefully I will see you again before you go to Denver. Talk to you soon.

Josh,
You might not remember our family, I hope that you do. This is Kathy Nielsen from Mesa, Arizona. We are friends with Jim and Cathy. We spent some time with your family at Lake Powell a few years ago. A week at Lake Powell with Glauser's and your family felt like we would be friends forever. We loved getting to know your family.You are on our minds and in our prayers. Love, The Nielsen Shumway Family
Josh,
I support you in this trouble time. I will include you in my prayers, and my thoughts. Continue forward!
Best,
John R. Piccolo
