Today, we witnessed miraculous change in Brady’s right leg! Medicine is school, and science is really smart, but God cannot be denied!
This morning, when asked “Can you wiggle your toes?” during around, Brady wiggled his toes. The toes on the right foot. The toes on the foot that doesn’t move on its own.
That may sound small, but it is a HUGE victory! Brady has worked SO HARD to move that foot, and we’ve stared at it, willing it to move, but no dice, ever. Until today.
When I got to the hospital, he showed me excitedly how he could move his toes. His feet have moved teeeeeny tiny bits in the recent weeks, but we’ve seen how its mostly his thigh muscles straining and compensating. This was undeniably the toes on his right foot, moving independently. He said his toes were moving even more than they did earlier in the day!
As he showed me, and we celebrated, he touched his toes to point out which ones he felt were doing most of the work, and he learned in that moment that he has SENSATION in those toes!!! Now, Brady has some sensation in that right leg. Mostly, if I touch his leg, he feels some pins and needles. Recently, its changed a little, and instead of pins and needles, sometimes touch feels like pressure. So his senses have been trying, but not quite getting it 100%. Close, though 🙂 Today, we discovered that two of his toes have feeling! When he touches them, he can feel his hand touching them! Again, maybe it sounds small, but it isn’t. Its incredible!
As if this wasn’t enough, he heaved his leg into the air where there was no pressure or resistance, and moved his foot at the ankle up and down, up and down, over and over. We laughed like idiots and celebrated as his foot moved with so much confidence!! Praise the Lord for progress! For nerves healing and changing! For muscles strengthening! For endurance and hard work! For miracles!
We spent the rest of our time together going for walks on the ward, playing cards, eating lunch, and watching an episode. It was normal, but a little lighter than usual. It felt so good. So hopeful.
Just a few hours later, Brady’s foot moves even better, further, smoother. Its visibly improving.
Thank you Lord, for continuing to restore Brady’s body. Your will be done.
