Thank you all who have taken your time and sent healing to Bob.
It is showing!

His surgery went very well. His first words after surgery, which was a week ago friday april 25th, were 'i can breathe, the tightness around my chest & stomach is gone.' So there was immediate improvement. Before he left the hospital on Sunday he was able to flex his muscles again and some of his reflex response had come back. As of yesterday, 7 days after surgery, when he went to see the doc, the report is that he can feel everything except the tips of his fingers. miraculous if you ask me. And has a green light to start some strengthening exercise, walking, stationary bike, low weight dumb bells.

He'll be in a neck brace for at least 6 weeks maybe a bit longer. For now he is having trouble eating because of the soreness in his throat. He had cancer treatments on his neck and throat in the last year so we know the tissue is not the healthiest and takes a bit longer to heal. Everything is looking great and i know all the energy that is being sent to him is making those nerves heal and respond better than anyone could have predicted.

Thank you to each and everyone of you for the time and energy you've given him. i know your efforts have helped him in ways he may never grasp and that is ok because i know and you know. thank you. i find i just cannot say thank you enough, i want to say it over and over and over constantly. gratitude is seeping out of my pores.

with all my love, peace and gratitude,
Debra
