Florida - Day One


We arrived safe and sound in the Tampa/Clearwater area last evening after an on-time flight from Indianapolis. We were even offered the exit row seats which gave the 3 of us more leg room than would have been normal! It was a blessing from God to us and a wonderful way to begin the trip!
As we drank our morning coffee in the hotel lobby we picked up the Monday USA Today newspaper. We were amazed to see an article about our very own school's Project Ignition http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/yourhealth/2006-08-27-teens-driving_x.htm How amazing that we would start the day reading about the project and the reason we are here...Greg & Steve's car crash.
Today we dropped off paper work at Dr. Hammesfahr's office on our way to explore Clearwater Beach while the sun still shone in Florida. You would never guess a storm was on the way and the water and beach were stunning in their beauty. Steve & Randy had a chance to jump in the Gulf (much too warm according to Steve).
Early afternoon we met Dr. Hammesfahr where he did a brief neurological exam of Steve as well as describing upcoming tests and treatment for Steve. We left the office encouraged and full of hope. Tomorrow will be full of many scans for Steve. We will update more as we know more.
