I know that it has been a long time since the last update so there is a lot to report. In February, Timmy came home from the facility that he has been staying at for over a year and a half. He is now living back in Boulder Creek at his family home with his mom (Dawn) and sister (Jessie), and is being taken care of by Isaac, his brother, and the rest of the family. In the short time that Timmy has been home he has shown great improvement in his condition. Timmy is gaining more and more control over his left arm and is now able to lift it a matter of inches to give hand shakes or high-fives. He has mastered the remote control, channel surfing during commercials and checking out all the sports channels along the way. We recently brought out the Super Nintendo and Timmy plays Ms. Pac Man and Mario Kart with a huge smile on his face. Timmy is now nodding and shaking his head a lot better, making it a lot easier for his family to learn how to communicate better with him. He has even started to have small movements with his right wrist, which was something that the Doctors said could never be possible. Timmy is also eating more real foods and able to try new things all the time.
Timmy loves to laugh at and spend time with his son Colin, and niece and nephews. He still has the same sense of humor, and laughs at old jokes and stories that he likes. We just got Timmy’s new wheelchair, and we are finally able to start taking him more places and allowing him to have his life back. This last Sunday he was even able to attend church with his mom. Timmy has come so far and still has such a far way to go. We are still working on fundraising efforts to try and get Timmy the treatment that could aid in his recovery.
