Make sure Robin is aware of Tara Llanes' situation and progress...VERY inspirational. The human mind, body and spirit is an amazing thing.

I was just talking with one of my customers today who suffered two strokes which resulted in (among other things) a paralyzed tongue, leaving him unable to speak. That was 1998 when the doctors told him he would never be able to talk again. And yes, he TOLD me all of this just this afternoon, and I could understand him just fine, even amidst his accent.

Never lose hope.

Thoughts and well wishes out to the couple and their family. I think I need to stop bitching about how tough things are for me right now. This puts things in perspective.

My wife and I are deeply saddened by this news. We'll be sending in a donation to help with medical costs, we only wish we could do more. Matthew and Robin are in our thoughts and prayers, we hope for the best possible recovery. We remain hopeful.

Thank you so much for your support, Robin is learning how to move her legs and arms at neurological rehab center (location removed) The Dr says she should get back most of her movement in a year, except her left arm, which the DR, says probably 60%, Robin is very optimistic and is working very hard to get out, The Dr says about 9 weeks.
Thank so much for helping us when we are down we really appreciate it.
Matthew
