Really GOOD update on our friend.

I talked to our friend's mom around lunch time today and got probably some of the best news we've gotten since he started his road to recovery. To catch people up, he had a heart attack around Thanksgiving and it was touch and go for a little while. Then he was doing really good. Then a month or a month and a half ago, his mom called me and told he was on the way to the ER because they believed he had suffered a stroke. Throughout the next week or so he had several more strokes, seizures and was suffering from meningitis. It was looking VERY bleak for a long time. Then last week things started looking up, he was taken off the food pump, and started on pureed foods. He was making eye contact, nodding, grunting a few words. It was a glimmer. Then today, we got FANTASTIC news. He's up walking with a walker, he's feeding himself, he's started talking more and he's wanting to go outside. THAT is a world of difference then a few weeks ago. I told Chris that said friend was so stubborn he wasn't going to let his stroke end his life and he's for sure fighting back. Friday or Saturday he's going to Jacksonville for 30 days of aggressive speech and motor skill therapy. They will give him a contraption on his right arm that will help him as it helps him get his strength back. So so so so excited about how much is is improving. Prayer works!

That really is the most wonderful news. Everyone concerned must be ecstatic. Sometimes the body can do a great job of repairing itself. Prayer helps too of course.
