Miracle

Tom Luckey, my uncle, sleepily walked to the bathroom in the middle of the night two years ago and silently fell over a second floor railing. His wife found him paralysed the next morning. Tom was an inspiration to all for his commitment to living every moment with brio.

After many, many months of therapy, community support and tremendous courage, he has begun to regain movement in two and then four fingers. Last week, his sister posted this video. Tom still lives with unbridled enthusiasm, and he awakens the deep courage we all posesses.

That is pretty much the most exciting thing I have seen in a long time. The persistence of life and the human spirit is both awe-inspiring and humbling to witness. I wish we had a video of the first time Jenna opened her eyes and yawned from her coma. We all stood around hugging each other and crying like a baby was just born or something. She then closed her eyes and took a 3 day nap...
Way to go Tom Luckey. I hope I can see the video of the toe/finger wiggle and the saxaphone music. That sounds really really good.
