I talked with him and his wife yesterday on the phone, and the news was not good.
They seem to think he has had a rare spinal stroke. At the time he had partial paralyisis. Right leg from hip to toes, all ten fingers and his mid section from waist to chest. he was very down, and they said he may not walk again and some of the other problems might hang with him also.
After Tuesday and Wednesday I was pretty down about such a good friend in such bad shape!
I visited today and seen that his spirits were much better! He has gained some movement back in his leg, but his fingers and mid section are still with no feeling and he suffers from spasms about every two minutes. He will be at Bronson probably through the weekend and then later be moved to a rehab center in Battle Creek. They are still trying to nail down the problem.
I know he is feeling better and I am breathing a little sigh of relief too! Thanks for all your prayers, I know they are making a difference!
