Update on Michael: he is doing really well these days! He will be going back to work on a part-time basis at the end of the month. He is still doing some occupational therapy, mostly to regain flexibility in his upper body and hands. His spirits have been high and we have visited and have been visited by our church family. 
Thanks all for keeping up with our journey and for your prayers. We were comforted by the fact that we were not going through this alone!
This will be my last post on Caring Bridge. If you're on Facebook you can keep up with us there.
