Christie, Sorry it's been awhile since I've checked in with you to see how
you are all doing. ??? I spent some time looking in the archives and back
on your old listings, but wasn't able to find your first post. Can you
refresh my memory on Greg's beginning of TM...what is his current status.
Where is his lesion? I know he was having some trouble with his hands as
well as his legs. How is he coming in Therapy? Any improvement? How
about his mental and emotional well-being, is he coming to terms a little
better? We just started Jake at the Chiropractor, we will try every avenue
we can. After two weeks he has seen some relief in the pain in his
shoulders and upper back. Hope he will see improvement in the pain in his
lower back. We live in Upper Michigan and today the sun is shining and it
is 45 degrees out. Everyone is running around in shorts and
t-shirts...life is good. Jake and I are going biking tomorrow. He was
supposed to go to a dance tonight, but decided to rest so that he will be
good to go tomorrow. Hoping to get a little paint ball war in, too. Hope
things are going better for you. Keep in touch. Judi
