Thank you friends for ALL your prayers and well-wishes...it has really been empowering and I feel so blessed to have such caring friends and family. We have been blessed and strengthened by so many people. You all are all too kind. I feel like each of you have represented Christ to me through the things you've done. I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply individually to you all.
A brief update...I am walking around just fine now! Not ready to breakout any dance moves or run any races, but walking and getting up and down fine now. I still have numbness/tingling, to varying degrees, over most my body from the chest down, so we'll see when that finally goes away. The main thing we're focusing on is my hands--they are both moving now....we're just trying to find ways for them to regain their strength and functionality. This week we'll do some more testing and see if that gives the neurologists any idea of what really happened!
Thanks again to Jose and to each of you.
