. . . . . . . .Twitches and Tears

Miracles abound in our home. Yesterday afternoon I felt a little twitch in the middle of my face (cheekbone). I haven't had a "twitch" in months, so this caught me by surprise. These are always good, as they signal returning nerve connections. I ran in to tell Tolan and he watched as I attempted to use the muscles. Dormant for almost a year, now I can move another muscle in my face! It runs all the way up next to my eye, so I could actually see the difference as I focused and flexed that little muscle.

Tears welled up in my (good) eye and I began to cry. Every time this happens, I am keenly aware that God is watching out for me, still. The emotions are so overpowering, I cannot explain. Tolan gave me a big hug and assured me, yet again, that I am still getting better, with the help of a very loving Father in Heaven and Savior looking out for me. :)

I am crying again now, just thinking about it. So many blessings!

Even though I have been dizzy quite a bit this weekend and today, I am still so happy and excited. Just like the tulips peaking through the ground, I feel I am getting a new lease on life!

Fantastic news. This must be a great feeling after all the setbacks you've had lately.

Now, let's chalk the dizziness up to altitude issues and call it good. Right?

=) Hope you keep progressing.
