Trikin’ It!

Anthony Macchio - Young — Mon, 14 Nov 2016 01:40:46 +0000

Home Alone

Since I posted that photo of my friends and me from two years ago at the beginning of this month I’ve felt that I should update the blog with an actual entry as opposed to just a picture, so here we go… I’ve very fortunately progressed to the point where I can stay at home …

Oh, How the Tides Have Turned…

Anthony Macchio - Young — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 02:06:10 +0000

The photos featured are one of my brothers and me recreating a photo from almost two years ago. He and his wife were visiting Charleston for the first time in a pretty long while and his wife showed me the first picture at dinner their first night in town earlier this week. That’s when the idea struck me …

I forgot to update the blog about my 2 year anniversary post last Sunday, February 1st, 2015. I am still making substantial improvements day in and day out, slowly but surely. Couldn’t do it without everyones’ continued prayers and support, thank you, I couldn’t do it without you all!

Anthony Macchio - Young — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 03:21:42 +0000

Tuesday, December 9, 2014, was my one year anniversary at Roper St. Francis’s Outpatient Rehab, so my dad was nice enough to supply lunch for everyone in the department today.
