Hi,
Joey went to casting at 10 a.m. The cast was removed from his left stump to be evaluated. Dr. Hampton said it looked good to him and he would evaluate again in a week. The hand dr. removed 5 pins from Joey's left hand. The plate and other pins remains for several weeks. The stitches were removed from his right stump. Joey is still on the antibiotic for bacteria; they check his blood every morning for the level. His fevers seem to be less and less, along with the sweats.
WWAY tv is interviewing him tomorrow, Wed. So watch you local tv for Joey. Also MTV is talking to Joey about doing a documentary. I'll let you know more when it is secured. Joey has to go to therapy everyday now and that means he has to be placed in his electric wheel chair and he drives with his left hand. He can really drive that thing; I guess playing video games in the past helps. He is still positive about his future and Jayme arrives tomorrow, Wed. to be with him for 3 days. She will return again on the 28th for good as the wedding is on Dec. 31st. I'll be sending pictures of that to you too. Keep praying. We love you for your support.
Love,Gail and Joey

Reminder: Don't forget to watch Joey's interview on Hardball, Thursday December 16th on MSNBC (7pm EST / repeat at 11pm EST)
