A HEARTFELT REQUEST

Dear Friends and Family,

Please let me take a few minutes of your day to ask for your help. In December 2008, I suffered a spinal cord stroke during open heart surgery. Initially, my stroke left me with both arms paralyzed from the elbow down, the muscles around my waist and right leg paralyzed. After participating in both inpatient and outpatient therapy and being told that I was “fully healed” I am left with partially paralyzed hands, nerve pain and muscle spasms (mainly around my waist) that are not controlled by medication. The therapy has improved my strength and I have learned to use adaptive equipment which has allowed me to return to work. However, the muscle spasms severely limit the amount of physical activity that I can perform before they become severe enough that they force me to stop and rest. This physical activity does not have to be strenuous. Some days just the walking in my daily activities is all that I can manage.

We had a very successful stay in Thailand. Larry started seeing results from the stem cell transplants within the first two weeks. He has continued to feel progress, even after almost six months! Nerve pain and muscle spasms remain gone as long as he does his therapy. We are looking forward to warmer weather so that we can resume the aquatic therapy. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who helped out with this campaign!

Wow, less than 2 weeks until we head to Thailand. And Beike just told me that they have added a new therapy to their program. In their trials, they saw the same results that used to take months in weeks!
