Thank you Mikel, my friend. Linda sounds much stronger after a good nights rest, that is if you can really get a good nights rest in the hospital. She said that she is starting to get some feeling back in her legs and is able to move them slightly. She will have a physical therapy assessment today. Tests have ruled out meningitis. All is hopeful and I wish to thank folks for the prayers, they really do help and work. Praise the Lord for His Blessings.
