Physical Therapy #1

Liza just told me, from the pitch blackness of our bedroom, that she was "overall, encouraged today." A doctor friend came over and shared her expertise with Liza as they gently worked on the range of motion in her neck. They took it easy, but it still affected Liza, which I guess is understandable. She also shared with Liza the simple fact that her neck, spinal cord and brain have been through a huge trauma. It takes a while to come back from something like that because the spinal fluid, the spinal cord, and all the nerves that come out of the cord are getting acquainted with more space and an increased ability to function properly. So even though right now Liza's "whole body is throbbing" and she has pins and needles in her hands and feet, she is still encouraged. We are still hoping that all of these symptoms are directly related to the healing process, which will take months. Please continue to pray that Liza will be able to sleep deeply, solidly, peacefully, and undisturbed by noises, worries, pain, numbness, etc., so that she can be as involved and blessed by the next few days as possible. Thank you all.
