I am truly blessed!

I just got home from therapy about an hour ago. As you probably can guess, I cannot drive YET. So therefore, I use Red Cross' public transportation to get to and from therapy. Today they picked me up from therapy, but instead of going straight home they had one more person to pick up. So we pulled into a doctor's office, and the driver went to go get the other patient that would be riding with us. As the driver came out with with this young lady in a motorized wheelchair my heart just broke. As she came up the wheelchair lift, and the driver helped her back up into the bus I could see she had some of the same issues I once had. She could hardly hold her head up, one of her wrists was contracted like mine was, and her speech was barely intelligible. I should have ended up in that position if you go by what all doctors say about my injury. BUT I'M NOT! And it's only for one reason. And that is Jesus Christ healed me from head to toe!

I just wanted to share that with all of y'all, and please pray for all the ones who are not as fortunate as I am.

Neuro Fitness Foundation Speech

I will be sharing my story at the Neuro Finness Foundation Golf Tournament , Monday, April 25th. Please come if you can, but if you can't here's what I will be sharing. -Daniel I’ve been coming to the NFF a little over a year. I would not be alive today if it were not for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let me tell you a little about my accident, and what the NFF has meant to me. At 5:15 a.m. on January 17, 2008, as a result from a drug overdose from taking Xanax, Ambien, and Methodone, my mom found me unconscious in my bed, covered in vomit, barely breathing. I was totally unresponsive and barely alive. The paramedics who answered the 911 call had to work on me for 45 minutes to bring me back to life. I was rushed to Harris Methodist HEB Hospital. My doctors didn’t think I would live through the first shift. But I did. They didn’t think I would live through the first day, or the first weekend, or the first week. But I did. I was on a ventilator; I had aspiration pneumonia, b...

I'm Free!!

As of this week, I have basically stopped using the walker!!! The only time I'm using it is at the gym, and hope to stop taking it there soon. Now I can walk all over my house by myself. Yesterday, I went to CVS to pick up my prescription, walked all over Home Depot, all over the grocery store, and finally went out to eat with my family at On The Border. Obviously, this is thanks to more healing from Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior! I've also been slowly reducing a muscle relaxer I have been taking for two and half years. My doctor thinks my body may not need the amount I have been taking since I'm healthy now. Those two factors combined have let me break out of my “cage” as my mom and sister called it. Thanks for all the continued prayers and support. I very much appreciate it!

Med Changes Update/New Stuff I Can Do

After many weeks of trying to tweak my medication, my doctor and I came to the conclusion to just go back to what I was on before all this happened. I'm doing much better now - I have stopped falling. Every once in a while though, I'll still have some anxiety and take a tumble, but for the most part I'm back to where I was before all this happened. Thanks to everyone out there for your thoughts and prayers. It seems like every day now I can do something new that hadn't been able to do before. I am now able to write the whole alphabet from A to Z, I have started shaving with an electric shaver (I never would have had the control to handle that even two months ago), and finally sitting down at the piano and trying to push each key down with each individual finger. My doctor says even if I can't push a certain finger down that that is due to weakness, and just the act of trying to push the key down is strengthening my fingers. I will keep you all up to date on any new ...
