A few new happenings around the Hoff home!
- The picture above was taken at a stream in Allentown. The recreational therapist from Good Shepherd found some new equipment for Kyle to try to get back out fishing! It was a little chilly so we didn't get to fish long, but the main purpose was for Kyle to figure out what modifications would work well with his hands. Keep praying that Kyle's hands would be healed so that he could catch that striped bass he's been after!
- We were fortunate this past weekend to meet an amazing couple, Paul and Jen. Paul has been in a wheelchair for 11 years and was so encouraging to Kyle. It's always great for us to meet other couples who know exactly what we are going through. They gave us wisdom and inspiration. We appreciate their hospitality and are thankful for their open hearts! Thanks to Jim and Gina for introducing us.
- Now for the greatest news! Kyle was trying to get to something the other day and as he inched his wheelchair closer, he bumped his leg into the table and he felt it! This has been the first new sensation in a long time! Although we don't like to see Kyle in pain it was great, because that means that he is feeling more. Pray that God continues to work out the crossed wires in Kyle's body so that he can gain more feeling and strength.

OK, I guess that Britt needs to start smacking Kyle everyday to see if he feels it? :)
Great news! We'll keep praying.

This news made my night! So happy to see Kyle fishing and hear he felt something when he bumped his leg. Thanks for sharing you guys. God is good:)
Love, Linds
Oh, I love the new fishing picture. I've got a good idea. Nicholas LOVED fishing with you at the pond at your grandparents. As soon as it gets warmer, Nicholas goes fishing with you. He can help you with whatever you need help with and he will quit bugging me about who he can go fishing with. He loves it and you can teach him everything he needs to know. A perfectly good plan, now if only you will agree to it. ;o) It was so nice seeing you both for Thanksgiving. We have prayed for you for so long that I know it was great for the kids to see God answering prayers.
have you thought about linking your video you did here to this site?

Yo Kyle & Britt:
I just spents some time loking at your blog. It is great news about bumping your leg and feeling it, Kyle! Actually Joel told me about it the day after it happened.
It sounds like you folks were very busy for Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed looking at your blog.
