If it tingles...

The loose thought we hear often is "If it tingles, it likely can be strengthened."  

There is a man, Jerry Moore that has made the trek from Evergreen each day to Craig Hospital. He and Brett have been as close as family for years. They have a rich story about wrestling officiating, and more importantly, a deep respect for each other. Jerry was the oldest man in our wedding party (shining in a tux at the spry age of 64).

When Jerry saw Brett raise his left hand from his wheelchair today and move it around, he stopped in his tracks. "Show me that again" he said. He walked past our "curtain" and told the family sharing a room with us that Brett could raise his arm. He borrowed my cell phone to call his wife and tell her the news. After he fed Brett his wife Rosalie's fantastic spaghetti and meatballs, he left with a spring in his step and a grin on his face.

Brett is gently regaining sensation and some movement in his arms.   And very recently, some sensation in a couple of fingers on each hand.

Baby steps, but steps in the right direction. Hang with us, today was full of pain, like he hasn't had for days.  Two steps forward, one step back and always looking forward to the next milestone.

All my love~Kelly
