He is Walking!

So we have another new advancement in Devins recovery!! He is now a walker!

About 2 weeks ago me and my mom were watching Sanjay Gupta and he was doing a piece on fish oil and how it has helped 2 different men after traumatic brain injuries. I asked our doctor if this was something we should try and he instead advised us to try coconut oil. That night I started adding a tablespoon of it with every meal and shockingly within 24 hours Devin went from walking 2 feet on his own to 20. This may like a normal advancement with age but he hasn't progressed in his walking in 6 months. Then over night he took a huge leap forward. We are so beyond blessed that we have a doctor who is not opposed to "new" or "controversial" medicine. We also thank our wonderful Lord and Savior who heals.

Lastly surgery is 2 weeks from today!!
