Reacquisition

Our normal mode of operation for getting Philip on his wheelchair is as follows: I assist him onto our bed and then he scoots onto his chair. He hasn't had the ability to get onto a bed, couch, etc to transfer to his wheelchair in 4 years - nor consistently transfer from the floor to his chair in 5 years.

On Wednesday, Philip climbed from the floor to the bed. Then on Thursday he did it again, this time with greater ease. I have not had to help him onto the bed since Wednesday night. Philip is now able to get into his chair without my assistance! This adds an immense level of personal independence that he hasn't had in years.

Why is this the case? Has anything changed for us or for Philip? Yes - Philip has been taking some superior, patented nutrition. The only thing that has changed in the past 4 years is that for the past 9 months Philip has been drinking Reliv. We would have been happy and satisfied with his migraine headaches gone, his allergies and anxiety each about 90% improved, and his fatigue (and coffee addiction) lifted. But this was a wonderful and unexpected development. God is good.
