Update on Phoneix – Tue 9/14

Posted on 14. Sep, 2010 by jeanine in Blog

GREAT NEWS everyone!  Phoneix actually sat up today for a little bit.  Okay…so he flopped over pretty quickly but that’s light years of an improvement.  AND….the blood work came back pretty normal as well as the urinalysis so no kidney dysfunction!  He’s eating more on his own (still hooked up to IVs) and driking a little on his own too!  They mystery the specialists are still grapling with (going back tomorrow to see a neurologist this time who will be consulting with an internist) is that there’s fluid in the abdomen.  They don’t know why.  Also, the neurological differences in each of his legs is a mystery.  He has varying degrees of sensation and movement in each leg with the back left having no reflex (yet!).  The bottom line is he’s come a long way from being practically dead in a box to being able to lift his body!  He’s a miracle in process – and I know he realizes all the support and love he has from so many that haven’t even met him.  I’m so very greatful for each and every one of you and SOOO thrilled to be able to report some good news!  I’ll keep you all updated.  In the meantime, keep sending him those positive vibes!!!!  It’s working!!!!
