Look at this!!!!!  PT and OT started working with Mustafa today. Mustafa got his own walker as the first step in the process of a prosthesis or whatever will be done to help him walk. He worked very hard, but notice the “thumbs up” sign! Geri (and, of course, Ahmed) were with him at this amazing moment. Geri’s words and pictures below say it all!!

Mustafa MAY get discharged tomorrow or Thursday–back to Ronald McDonald House to heal for a week or so, then to start at Shriners.

We want to start thinking about next steps such as community gatherings (potlucks, etc.), ongoing needs and ways people can help/be involved, press (they have a story that MUST be heard), school and youth involvement, outings, fundraising, etc. Send all ideas our way and we will talk with Ahmed, see when Mustafa is strong enough to start getting out, and start planning onward.

Best to all.
Happy Rosh Hashanah and Eid Mubarak.
