I'm not sure how much you are able to see not having facebook, but yes, they are using that page for updates and info.

The latest: Michael is "unofficially" approved at this point to go to Atlanta. More details to be confirmed tomorrow. Estimated day of departure from Nashville will be this Friday or Monday.

As soon as I post that ^ , PJ posts a new update....

"We got the official word this afternoon that we will be leaving Vandy at 8:00 in the morning headed towards the ATL. He starts rehab on Saturday morning. He will be doing rehab every day seven days a week. They have two sessions- one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We don't know how long he will be there. He will be there for quite a while. I will be in the ambulance with Michael on the way down and Timberly will follow behind us in the van. I am trying to convince them to let me drive the ambulance, but I am not sure my persuasion skills are quite that good. I guess we'll see."

There have been others, they made it to ATL and Michael began his therapy. Here is an update from today.

Timberly Byerly Sloan
32 minutes ago
We just got back into the room after all his afternoon therapy and he is worn out but doing well. They just took out his pic line and he has to lay flat for 30 minutes. In one of his therapies they strapped him down and stood him up at a 50 degree angle. They made modifications to his wheel chair as well. He has been laughing a lot today and smiling as well. He is watching the ninja turtles and starting his tube feeds now. Hopefully he will sleep more peacefully tonight since he has worked his little butt off in therapy today.

I've been PJ's friend a long time and this is breaking my heart. I wish we could do more . :(

From PJ's fb....

"Today while everyone else is sending their kids off to their first day of school this year I had to go fill out a form to withdraw Michael from school. This sucks. We had plans on having him in the RISE program this year and now he won't even be there at all. Everyone that spent this past weekend fighting in Walmart over tax free folders and notebook paper need to realize that there are more important things out there and you never know what you have until it isn't there anymore.
I saw a commercial for Holiday World last night on tv and I couldn't stomach watching it because I can't just hop in the car with my son and go ride some roller coasters and water slides. The same thing happened when a Dollywood commercial came on.
Katelyn has been sleeping in the bed with me because she doesn't want to sleep in her room alone. She has never had an issue sleeping in her bed until the last 3 1/2 weeks. I am going to try and get her into her bed tonight and hopefully we can handle it together. I am going to try and get some work done today although the attention to details that I need to have may not be there today. Thanks for reading. I hope ya'll have a good day."

I have been following this since the beginning. I cant imagine the difficulty of the situation. People do need to stop and think when they complain about things how much more worse it can really be. Hopefully as the days and nights go on things will improve and get better...

Does anyone have any ideas of long term? Is this something he can eventually or partially live a normal live again? Will therapy and time help I hope?

Update....

He is having another great day. He has had two physical therapies, occupational therapy and speech therapy so far today. He has done an awesome job lifting his head up today. We also got up to 80 degrees on the tilt table. Then we tried to stand him up on the floor and he did great for his 1st time. They obviously had to hold him but he was able to unlock his knee while standing to help bend it. He did an incredible job in speech eating and swallowing thickened liquids. He is also trying so hard to say words and they are thinking it won't be long till he is saying them. He said bye yesterday and was trying to say it again today.

Wow amazing. I think this is already way more than doctors thought. Hopefully his young age possibly helps in a fast recovery!
