Hello again yall sorry it's been awhile, I've been dealing with health issues myself. I am the wife of Woody and his caregiver. I wanted to give an update on his progress. He is doing wonderful, we are praising God for his healing! He's walking to the store a mile and half from our home. He's walking without his wheel-chair! His sugar has been fine, and his blood pressure is doing great, even better than mine! TY for all those who are praying for us! Hope that everyone had a great Easter weekend! We did. For several days we've had spring like weather and lots of sun! it's starting to feel like summer here in Ga! He does want me to tell everyone who is trying to recover from a stroke, Never Give Up, and always try to have a good fight in you, And keep moving and not stop trying! Be Patient, It Get's Better Everday!!!! Thank You!! From; Susie S.. Ga

We appoligize for not blogging, so much has happend, good and some rough! But we are wanting to post this message to encourage anyone who is just now starting to recover from thier stroke! This month marks the Anniversary day on the 13 th of Jan that my husband had a major stroke, along with double psnumonia, he had 5 trachs, he couldn't eat or drink for 21 days! He had also a feeding tube for two months! He got out of the hospital last March 1st, and then he had to fly to Ga, when he arrived here, he was completely paralzed on his right side, and he also couldn't see! Both of his eyes we're turned completely in! so for several months he told me that he saw triple at one time! Now his eyes are returning back and moving to the center, one on the right side is still alittle out of allignment, but it starting to look like it's moving to the center too now!! We had him schedule for eye surgery, but after his blood tests they discover that he has diabetisis, and so they told him that he would need to have more heprin shots in the stomach, but so he decided to wait, but now it looks like it may turn on it's own. We also have been able to level out his blood-pressure, it is doing wonderful, Praise God! in the photos I've posted of him, you can see now how hard he is working to get well! He tries to work out 3 times aweek if his legs will allow him too, he still has the spasms in his legs, but he is trying hard to work around it! He's now able to cook, walk, and several other things now! Just as God promised when my husband was in ICU, He gave me these scriptures! ( PS41:1-2) Even his doctor is saying he is a walking miracle! They told him that he is a inspiration to them, and they are amazed of his progress! Even his attitude has changed, he has a bright out-look on life and he has peace! His confidence has also greatly improved, he wants to do more greater tasks, we are encouraged by his enthusiasm, and his passion to want to be more independent! I write this blog here to encourage all those who are just now starting to recover from thier stroke, My husband wanted me to tell yall, " Never Give Up"! He also wants me to tell yall that " Yes, Miracles Happen"!// ? And" It Get's Easier Every Day"! So, I end this blog for now, but we will keep yall posted on how he is doing soon, God bless You
