Sorry I skipped a week in posting to the blog . . . I've been very busy and time slipped by. The good news is . . . the last couple of weeks have been very productive for Andrew.
The staff at Project Walk have been diligently working Andrew's body out 3 days per week for 2 hours each day. They continue to work both the upper and lower extremities and his arms and legs are getting stronger with every workout.
Earlier this month I posted some videos showing Andrew working out at Project Walk; one in particular showed him on a Total Gym sliding board and a trainer was using a spasm (involuntary movement) to try and elicit some voluntary movement. Well, today he actually got a little voluntary movement. Not only was he controlling this movement very nicely, but he was also able to feel the muscle working and stretching as he did this.
I have posted the video of the voluntary movement below . . . you can see that his trainer is just sitting in front of him relaxing and not even touching him as he does it. Andrew is very tired tonight and definitely feeling sore and fatigued from his workout today.
Even though time goes on and it seems like nothing is happening . . . it's days like today that we really feel God's blessings. Please join us in prayer and give thanks to God for so many blessings and miracles in Andrew's recovery. None of this would be possible without Him!
God Bless you all. Joye

I worked with Drew at the prison many years ago and all I can say is that I am so happy to see that he is making so much progress. Drew has an amazing spirit and I keep him close to my thoughts and prayers. Keep fighting Langley!

Hello Andrew!
Hope you remember me - its been a long time.
Andrew my thoughts and prayers are with you – I read through your blog and I can’t believe all that you and your family have gone through! Joye you sound as though you are an angle! My ex husband and Andrew served in the military together in Yuma, and I lost touch with Andrew shortly after returning to the Seattle area… I think it’s been since about 1991 – ish. Sorry this e-mail will reach you well after the fact, but I wanted you to know Andrew that I will pray that your recovery continues with great success. My e-mail address is Kathy.vilendrer@fiberpipe.net
Sincerely,
Kathy Van Diest - Vilendrer
Hi Kathy V again - sorry i gave you the wrong e-mail address -

Keep on Fighting!!! My prayers are with you!
Kathy
