Update on Michael - Day 115...

Update from Jim (Michael's father-in-law)

There is some real promising news on Michael's recovery this week.
As of the last 2 days while Michael has been in Waccamaw Rehabilitation Center, he has been able to stand and take a few steps.
On Tuesday he was able to walk while holding onto the parallel hand rails for the length of the rails.
I believe this was 5 to 6 steps.
On Wednesday Michael told me he tried a walker and even though walking is very painful for him, he has done well.

We all here are so proud of his courage and strength.

We are looking forward to the eventual return to home for Michael.
He will be traveling back to MUSC for his review by the surgeons there on Dec. 15th.
He will then return to Waccamaw Rehab Center.
The assessment team at Waccamaw have stated that if he continues on the current path of recovery as soon as Dec. 17th he maybe able to come home.

Once home Michael will most likely have in-home health care workers visiting him and maintaining his recovery.

Kindly keep your prayers lifted up for the Christmas homecoming.

A world of thanks to all of you for your prayers and help.
We appreciate everything everyone has done for the family.

We hope you have a wonderful Holiday season,
Jim & family
