Admitted to WHC

I am so sorry to tell you all that Forrest has developed another problem with his incision scar.  It appears that the skin is so fragile after many surgeries that it is breaking down again. Instead of charging back into PT we are in route now to Washington hospital center DC. Forrest will have blood work and a CAT scan tonight and possibly surgery again tomorrow.  He is strong as an ox now and we have caught it early. Our hope is to take care of this quickly before it has a chance to affect his titanium implant. He will have his phone and iPad with him, so feel free to send him your positive energy & encouragement. We'll update tomorrow as we have a better idea of where we stand. With love, Forrest's Mum

    Forrest, hang in there and beat this thing! We've all seen how determined you are to keep climbing your ladder to success. I KNOW you can do it, especially with God's help.

    Love and Prayers,

  12. Forrest, we too are sending lots of positive energy your way for rapid healing and recovery. Hoping WHC provides the care you need, a little down time, and well deserved rest. The progress you continue to make is just amazing and, like so many others, we are so grateful for that - soon, I expect we'll be grateful to hear you are back home and charging ahead on your oh so challenging path. Few others could even begin to accomplish all that you have and will. Stay the course - your strength, determination and person are incredible. Prayers and love, the Shermans

My life has been inspired by your determination, love, and courage. I know I will see an update soon that you are home again, and making more leaps and bounds. Peace and hope to you Forrest.
