Bed Bound - Bah!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that, through the grace of God, I have regained significant function in my left leg and arm! Two weeks ago I was completely bed bound, unable to even sit up and the only movement I had on my left side was a slight shift of my left big toe. I was a blueberry pancake with one arm! I had to rely on my wonderful and unfaltering family around the clock for every basic need. I am working hard daily to rehab and have a long way to go, but am thrilled and grateful beyond expression to report the strides being made! I need help standing but once up can walk short distances with the help of a crutch! i was able to take a car ride yesterday and even climb stairs with assistance well enough to sleep in my own bed. The function returning hopefully means the bleeding from the brain tumors has stopped and is reabsorbing. An MRI this week will hopefully shed some light.
The best part is I was able to celebrate Kye's 7th birthday last weekend, which was pure joy.

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Jerimiah 20:11.

Thank you for the continued prayers and support. God is good!

Love,
Stephenie
