Hi everyone,     I haven't been on the board in a couple weeks but its been a long time since I've given a Mandy update. For those of you that are new she had 4 strokes in Dec. 02 and was unconscious for a week she is 20 yrs. old her progress is on previous posts from surgery on. To date she has been walking for the last 2 weeks around the house without her single end cane even, we are so thrilled she is getting herself a drink now and then and helping a little with cleaning walking things to the trash can and all. Her speech just keeps getting better and better she is truely amazing thank God she is so young. We went from almost loosing her last new years eve to walking with no help there is truely a God all the prayers from hundreds of people who didn't even know her really helped tremendously.(The power) We are so proud of her and have learned so much from her she so precious. Another moyamoya survivor you gotta love it! Be talking to you again Nancy.[color=Purple][/color]
