Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that’s why we call it the present.

Drivers training is going well! JJ is still trying controls out in the training car but should have things narrowed down to get controls in his van soon.
When training started the instructor was worried that JJ would need a lot of extra technology, but he has gained a lot of strength, working with OT and PT and it appears he will not need much. This is a huge improvement and we are so proud of all his hard work!

Big day for JJ! We picked up his 2023 Chrysler van today! He no longer has to duck or tilt his chair to get in or out and this van has some really nice features to accommodate his needs. Next week he will start his summer drivers training and before we know it he’ll be driving himself around!
We could not have gotten here without the help of Missouri KIDS and United Access of Springfield. So thankful for everyone’s hard work to make this happen!
Remember to be patient and faithful! God always provides!

JJ was able to drive a little again on Monday. He won’t start all of his training until June but he has some homework to do to help him get stronger. Lots of prayers needed for strength in his arms and shoulders. Missouri KIDS is working hard to help get him a vehicle that he can drive from his wheelchair and we should hear from them again soon.
JJ’s attitude continues to stay positive but that doesn’t mean all of this is easy. Please continue to pray for him and thank you all for your support!

JJ got to do a little fishing this week. He’s been working with JP Sell, who is the founder of the National Youth Fishing Association, to get the right fishing pole set up. JP tried multiple buttons, different poles, reels and all kinds of set ups. JP has it nailed down to just the right set up for JJ and will have it all finished up in a few weeks. While JJ was practicing he was even able to reel in a fish! We all had a great time hanging out with JP and his family. They have a beautiful place in Rogersville and they have helped a lot of people have a great time fishing.

Update on JJ! He’s still doing great in therapy! This video is the first time he’s been able to balance himself and play catch. Once again the insurance has started denying visits so we are starting the appeals process again. I wish the insurance could see the progress he is making. He continues to work out every night in his room and just asked us to get him heavier weights!
Over Christmas break JJ had an appointment with his neurologist. Everything looks great on his x-rays and he’s been cleared from his surgery. He also had some more breathing test done and has a couple more scheduled in April. The pulmonologist would like to see a little more inflation in his lungs and they’re doing what they can to progress that.
For those of you that remember the fishing pole JJ was able to use in Colorado… We have a person working on that. It hasn’t happened yet but it’s a for sure thing that it’s going to and JJ is very excited for that to come.
Coming up in February, JJ has a drivers evaluation for the use of hand controls! He is looking forward to this and hopefully he will be able to get into his own vehicle before his senior year.
We continue to have people ask if there’s things that he needs so there is a link in the comments for ongoing needs if you would like to help. Thank you all so much for your support and your prayers! We love it when we see people in town and they ask how he’s doing. Sometimes we don’t even know who they are but it’s great to know how many people care about his journey!

Great news today!
We received a letter in the mail today that the denial for physical therapy has also been overturned! There was a mixup with the paperwork, but once it all got sorted out, we got the answer we’ve been praying for!
Thank you all for your prayers and support!
Merry Christmas!

We received some good news last week from the insurance. After I filed a grievance with the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance, our insurance overturned their denial for occupational therapy! They have given JJ approval for 12 visits and will do another evaluation at the end. Please continue to pray for them to overturn their denial for physical therapy. I will be handling that issue this week and next.

JJ is doing really good! He’s looking forward to a week off school, just like every other teenager. Today he got a temporary cast put on his left arm to help with loosening the tendons, nerves, and muscles, to help with straightening his arm all the way. He has struggled with this for quite a while, and he’s agreed to let the therapist cast his arm for his week of Thanksgiving break to see if it’ll help.

Thank you all so much for the continued prayers and support! Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

Update on insurance issues... All of JJ's therapy (OT and PT) have been denied at this time. We are working on an appeal and have filed a grievance with the state to help with this matter. Please continue to pray that thing will work out for his therapy to continue. If anyone has information on grants that may help with this please let us know. There's a ton of information out there and it takes a while for us to sort through all of it. Thanks!

Things have been going well for JJ. His overall health is very good. He’s attitude is great, unless he catches me taking his picture. 😆 He has awesome therapist at Mercy and he continues to get stronger each week. JJ has not even been home for a year since the accident and he has made tremendous progress! We are so proud of him. We are currently struggling with getting approval from insurance for his PT and OT visits and would appreciate your prayers in that matter.
We continue to have people ask about JJ and we are so grateful for the support from our community. Thank you all for your prayers!

JJ Hutson is coaching up Eli Jackson doing box squats, getting him hyped to take on their next opponent on the gridiron!

Quick update on JJ… he is still working hard to gain strength and he’s doing great! We are so proud of him and what he’s able to do. The pic on the left is him holding himself up on the mat. A few months ago he wasn’t even close to being able to do this! The pic of the right is him in the standing frame. He doesn’t love this but he does so good when he does it.
JJ has been able to come off of a ton of meds in the last few months and he is feeling good.
We are confident that God is still healing JJ and we are so grateful for all of the prayers and support! God heard our prayers!
