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.

Halleluah Josh!!! You made it.
Proud of you for your patience and stamina. I have been excited all day thinking about this big step.
Great family support. Nice of you to let Justin take a nap. Colton and Marne the two of you look great also. Working together the Packs will always be winners.
Thanks to the Lord for the healing process.
Love and CONGRATULATIONS!
