Deb is now moving her legs definitively and consistently. As of this writing, we are in Clearwater, Florida where Deb is receiving therapy that is meant to reactivate her nervous system. The strongest movements have been leg extensions and hamstring pulls from the sitting position. I know I have shared reports of her moving before, but none of them compare to what I witnessed yesterday. The movements were strong and repetitive, lifting her foot about two inches about ten times and then with an exercise band, pulling her leg back using her hamstrings.
Even before yesterday, on Tuesday, she was controlling her spasms by consciously flexing her muscles to break the spasmodic movements.
I will have more updates shortly. Please remember, dreams never die!
