MARCH 16TH - Day #1 Post Surgery...

IRREVERSIBLE, PARAPLEGIC, COMPLETELY PARALYZED FROM THE CHEST DOWN..... these were the surgeon's words we struggled to digest ten days ago. - Eman can feel his legs!!! Eman's legs are moving!!! - I was reading to him yesterday afternoon and I squeezed his knee and his whole leg popped up. Throughout the course of the afternoon he legs stretched, moved, reacted to stimulus. This is a DIRECT answer to your prayers. We cannot tell you how ENCOURAGED Eman is and ALL of us are. Eman is not controlling these movements, but he CAN feel them, and he can now feel EVERYTHING. I tested him, covering his eyes and asked him "where" we were squeezing his legs/feet - he identified correctly every time. Psalms 139 - "Where can I go from Your spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold YOU ARE THERE. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, EVEN THERE Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me."

  3. Great news,

    One day at a time. I'm still experiencing pain from a surgery I had two months ago. Slowly, slowly these things heal.

    I can relate to being very discouraged when being bed ridden for the first time in my life as a very active man.


    Best,

    Don

  5. Tks for the update, Julia. Reading about the whole ordeal and immense job you have now at home is quite something and I appreciate you took time to tell us in spite of how busy you are on all fronts. Keeping desperate for a speedy and total restoration of all bodily functions, for divine healing and for the HS to lift up Eman's spirit and soul. GBY dear ones!

  7. Julia, everytime I check this blog hoping to hear Emmanuel is geting better I am amazed by how strong you are! I always admired your persistent personality and now I admire the love you have. Even though I'm not very religious nowdays, I'm sure that love is the strongest power in the Universe and it'll make it alright! Sending lots of positive thoughts to you, Emmanuel and family.
