    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

    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!!
