Journal entry by Nicole Holler —
Being strong is working in dads favor. They have started him walking with out a cane and only one assistant. If that wasn't encouraging enough to see pa holler walking with minimal assistance...they moved him onto stairs and squats...dad is very motivated and willing to put in the hard work. There are moments where he gets cought up in the sadness of what he's lost but its up to all of us to help remind him of all that he still has! They said that by Monday he will be fitted with a leg brace and start him on electro therapy for his arm and leg. Which should help stimulate the nerves. Currently he has a lot of pain in his legs which we are told is positive but, massage and continuly touching the area is the best medication. In the meantime...he will be started on a medication called gabaphenton to reduce neurological pain. Keep the prayers coming...and please visit to help keep his sprite up.
