Marvin goes swimming

We are able to have pool therapy thru the VA and with the help of a Shepherd trained therapist, Marvin is standing on his own(with a life vest) and he climbed up one step. He does so much better in water without gravity so we know many nerve connections are still there but very weak from disuse. His breathing is better and he sounds like the old Marvin in voice. We have a friend working in pain management who thinks she can help him get more movement back and we are excitedly waiting for next Thursday to see the Dr. @ this clinic. Scott Johnson and Marvin are in the back yard today. Marvin is giving advice and Scott has mowed, cleared and put down pinestraw on the yard. What a great exchange!! We have had calls from friends of many years past that have brought such smiles to Marvin. There are some great memories being shared again as friends can do. God continues to give us blessings in healing, friends, and even finances. Got a refund from the hospital last week! You know that is rare and much appreciated. We have a wonderful lady helping with Marvin who many met at his 65th. She is such a gift.
Thank you keeping us in your prayers and calls. Our God is Great,
Cathie
