Hello guys ...and gals Jeri wanted me to ask if this is something that 
is normal for spaziums (sp) .. She will try to move her leg or foot with all her 
might ..and everytime it will cause her to spaz.. now then if she is trying to 
move it a certain direction then she spaz.. and it moves there in a spazium 
Like a delayed reaction Now another question.. how do you gals self 
cath...any magic ideals ..her hands are not strong enough. Her 
movement, Moblility is back a 100 percent but the strengh of a 75 year old 
person...will her strengh in her hands improve with thereapy.. Can 
feel the need to poop but cant tell if it is a poop or gas I told that is 
everybody...lol.Bladder seems to be holding a lot to me sometimes 500 to 
800 now cathing every 3 hours to a 275 to 400 what is the norm..how often 
do most of yall go that is still having to do it ...Thanks for all the support I 
read every night before I go to bed ,no matter what time it is or how tired I 
am..THANKS SOO MUCHKelli

 ok, where do I start...Just learning how to get my letters out 
there...Must say kind of scary reading about tm. but better informed than to be 
in the dark5 weeks in as of tom.line of injury is about 2 inches above 
breast area...Just got on more steroids for two more weeks new neuro. says 
it is too late but what can it hurt and gave her a choice.. For sure is not g.b. 
wish , recovery is a breezein comparison..We have been in a rehab 
for 3 weeks today...It is a GOD send... Says she can stay as long as she shows 
some improvement...The team behind her are complete ANGELS sent strait from 
heaven... They love her and cheer her on like a family... She moved her leg last 
week ...hard to explain I think the movement is coming from her quad muscles?? 
upper thigh area and very weak movements but they are movementsGot to potty 
on her own on a potty chair.. Still has cath in OH we live in Texas Have 
applied for medicare..still waiting ..paper work bs. This child is a inspiration 
to be around...Look you in the eye and tell you straight up GOD is going to HEAL 
her it is just going to take some time... The strength she has is 
remarkableI can touch her anywhere,anywhere. she can tell me exactly 
where I am touchingPillow on her head so I know she is not just wishing to 
feel the touch..We are lost as I know all of you understand this feeling... 
GOD is the only answer we have.. so please PRAY for us as we will PRAY for all 
of youTHANK YOU Kelli

more no ins. but has got into rehab for now but can only stay if she shows 
improvement...ANY ADVICE OR ANSWERS IS EXTREMELY 
APPRICIATED...THANKYOU..Kelli
