All of your wonderful prayers are working.  Chris was moved to a regular room at St Lukes in KC.  He is walking a little with the assistance of a cane.  Great news as far as I am concerned.  His right leg drags, but then so does mine....I told him I would show him how to not wear out shoes!!  His mind is still a little muddled, his words are few and far between, but he does understand what you are saying to him and he recognizes people and places.  He just thinks that his knee is his head, but that will turn around.  We are all very encouraged by the progress so far.  Thank you all for your many good thoughts and prayers....he is gonna be another success story!
Hugs,
Brenda

Brenda~
Just catching up on this and even though his case is not the BEST news, I see lots of glimmers of hope.  The fact that he can write & express even tidbits of what he is thinking is the best thing I see.  Great that he is up & walking too.  It is a long, hard road, but he has lots of prayers and support.  Please give he & his wife extra wishes from me and if they would ever like to talk to someone who has gone thru that (to a certain degree), I'd be more than happy to talk to them.

Thanks for the encouraging update on Chris.  He is in the prayers of many good people and I have faith that he'll steadily improve.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
