Hello to all,

Good to hear from you Stephanie.  Greg is slowly making some progress.  He is still moving his head from side to side and moves his right foot and toes.  He has good movement in his jaws and mouth. Still no movement in his arms.  His muscles in his arms, back and upper legs are getting bigger and he has gained weight.  We know this by the way his pajamas fit around the waist.  He has had pneumonia again and is on clarithromycn now.  If we could just get his lungs strengthened and keep him from getting the pneumonia, we think he would improve much faster.  We are putting the weight on his chest each day to try to get the lungs stronger. He gets a full body massage three times a week and that is helping tremendously.  We have been trying to get him on HGH but have not been able to get the doctor to get this accomplished yet.  We certainly hope and pray that all the group is improving.

By the way, Wendell had knee replacement surgery on July 1 and came home from the hospital today.  He is doing good but we sure can use all of God's help to get us through the next few weeks with therapy for two in the house now.

Love and Prayers for you all,

The Reeces -- Wendell, Jackie & Greg

Hey Everyone!!! How yall doin'? I hope you are well, happy, healthy as
possible and not missing me too much! Haha jk about the missing me. I
miss each of you so much! I often think about the fun times we shared
in Peru. What a fun group we were. We were so much fun we were the
only group to go to Peru...haha They just couldn't beat the first
group so they stopped! Haha. Jk about that too. Too bad they are not
going to Peru for trials anymore. Even through the secondary
complications with accessibility and the language barrier, I still had
a really unforgettable and enjoyable time in Peru.

Please send me updates on your progress. If you do not mind I would
like to post info on my personal website about the improvements the
group has had. Just let me know.... miss you all so much!!!

Take care and good luck to each and everyone of you!!!

In Hope, Love, Strength & Laughter,
Your Friend-
Stephanie

Subject: [princessonwheels] Steph's good day in the gym

First of all.... I wanted to say congrats to all who have seen any
type of improvement since the stem cells. For those who have not
noticed anything, do NOT get discouraged one second. It is only the
beginning of incredible, miraculous things to come for each of us. Its
still so early. The way I look at it is like this... God cant give it
all to us in just one day. It brings Him joy to bring us happiness
each day, so why not draw the recovery out over a longer time
period... ha just a thought. And the fight only makes us stronger in
the end. Keep the FAITH...and HOPE...and you eyes on the prize!!! You
are all in my prayers...

As for an update for me...

I actually do have exciting news to share with you today. Last week in
the gym, I was showing an increase in nerve connection below my level
of injury. My initiation to make voluntary movements was showing
improvement and was stronger than before I went to Peru. This was
exciting to see, but today really got me pumped about my chances for
recovery.

While training with Nito today at Pressing On, I made some voluntary
movements with my quads. While sitting on the edge of the therapy
table, I was able to kick my foot up to fully extend my leg. I made a
few full movements by myself and on others only with very little
stimulation to the muscle. I was also connecting better with my
muscles during other exercises as well, but the leg extensions are
most exciting. We also noticed that instead of pushing through my hips
to initiate a movement, I was connecting to the correct muscles to
make them myself. These movements and nerve connections are definitely
new for me and was exciting to see happen, for me & Nito. Today I saw
my first TRUE signs of return since the stem cell injections.

Ill keep ya posted and will hopefully get some video this week. Miss &
love you all!!! Keep praying... God is Good all the time!!!!

Love,
a friend for life,
Stephanie

Hello Everyone,
Enjoyed the pictures Stephanie.
The last three days we have seen great progress in Greg. He has been
up in his wheelchair for a couple hours each day and on Thursday, April
24, he wanted to go outside so Wendell wheeled him out on front porch
for about 30 minutes. He sat there and moved both legs back and forth
with ease. Still no movement in hands and arms yet but therapist is
hopeful there will be soon.
Take care everyone and we are praying the stem cells are regenerating
for all.
Wendell, Jackie & Greg

Amen!!! God is Good! His hands are definitely at work here. I am so
excited for Greg & Reece family. Little by little, prayers are being
answered. Its only the beginning of awesome things & I can't wait to
hear more. Please give Greg a big hug & kiss from me. Miss you all.
Keep smiling!

In Love, Strength & Hope-
Stephanie

Hey Yall! Well...today was a great day in the gym. I worked out with
Nito for an hour after work. My legs were wild today. Im still super
spastic and it seems that my legs are trying to wake up. I was
initiating movements better than ever today. Nito could really tell a
difference and that it was something new. Hopefully soon I will be
able to control the exact muscles necessary to make voluntary
movements... Keep praying the connection continues to grow stronger.
As for sensation, I feel a slight increase of sensation in my right
foot, calf, knee & hip at times. Its like my muscles wake up for a lil
bit and then go back to sleep. Kinda wierd feeling at times...
Big hugs & Kisses from Texas to you all!

as well as spreading the news of recovery & health improvements. If
any of you have pictures to share, please add them to the group albums.

Each of you are in my prayers & the prayers of people all over. Good
