I am alive. believe me that means something.

I can also walk, and use my arms.


several years ago, I had an accident. I fell and in the process my head snapped back and the back of my head actually hit my back.

I went to the hospital and the Dr. told my wife to prepare for a quadraplegic (sp) if I lived.

the Dr. told me they could not treat such a serious trauma patient at that emergency room so i was rushed to parkland where a trauma team was ready to work on me.

anyone who has watched a tv show with an ER has seen when the ambulence pulls up and there are six or seven people waiting? well, that is true. that is exactly what happened with me.

I was told I had a bursed spinal column and to expect things to get much worse. I remember feeling strenght leaving my arms.

I was eventually taken to ICU where I stayed for 2 days as they gave me massive doses of steriods and other medication.

But prayer was made by the saints of God.

2 days after falling I walked out of the Hospital. Im still walking now.

Being alive is a great thing.
