It may be the biggest day yet in C.R.'s path to recovery. "C.R.'s eyes are open and he is responding to some commands," said his dad, Rusty.
C.R. is communicating with his parents through "squinching" his eyes. He can also move his right arm and leg when asked, although the left side is still not fully functional.
"It has been easy as parents to be proud of C.R. when he is in the X Games or skiing big-mountain lines in the movies," Rusty said in an e-mail. "But it doesn't come close to how proud we are today as through the fog and disorientation he does something really hard -- like move his leg."

"Could he end his carreer after this?" thats somethin no one wants to think about but what kind of guestion is that? he still cant move the left side of his body, put 2 and 2 togeather bro. If that doesnt make it odvious that this could be a carrer threatening injury than what will?

1/2/06 - From Rusty Johnson: CR takes his first steps since the accident.
Today was one of those benchmark days we live for. CR walked for the first time! He had a good speech therapy session where he anwsered all the questions correctly. I asked him afterwards if those were easy questions and he said they were. I thought so too but they showed his thinking process was on a certain level. In the afternoon we took CR down to PT in a wheelchair and he returned to his room using a walker! He had to go up four stairs during PT as well, and the therapist said, "Go up with you right foot first, then bring your left foot up and step up the next step with your right foot and and bring the left foot up to that step." NOT! CR went up the stairs right-left, right-left and the therapist said' "Show off!" I had to call Lorraine and say, "Hey Honey, you know that big wheel chair CR used to use back in the day? Well they just took that out of his room, it's gone." Anyway, you can tell I'm excited. Tomorrow is scheduled for 4.5 hours of PT and we hope for more progress. There will inevitably be ups and downs but today along with the day he woke up and the day he was allowed to eat is one of the greats and I'll take it. It was shared with his good friend Pep Fujas and his new friend and former nurse Cody and, of course, his Mom. --Rusty
