Mike has moved

I just wanted to let everyone know that Mike is now settled in at TIRR in Houston. His dad and I moved him down there on Thursday, March 12th. On their initial evaluation they have set a goal of four weeks. This will be evaluated each week. We ask for prayers that Mike improves and that this can be extended as four weeks is not very long. TIRR is an outstanding facility that specializes in rehabilitation and research. Right now they are focusing on his left side as he continues to have no use of that side of his body. He has also been evaluated by an eye specialist, had multiple tests and changing to medications in hopes improvements. Since January, Mike's "two steps back" took him to where he was last March-April after the accident last year.
