On Nov 19 2008, I woke up and climbed out of bed and my legs collapsed beneath me. I was rushed to the hospital and I completely baffled the doctors. My health just worsens from there and at one time my wife was notified that I was not going to make it. The doctors couldn't find the bacteria/virus that was slowly eating me away. The bacteria/virus eat away at my myelin sheath (which is the protected coating on the nerves that run the spinal cord). I spent 33 days in the ICU the doctors found a way to stop the bacteria/virus from spreading. The doctor diagnosed me with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_disseminated_encephalomyelitis). My whole body at this point paralyzed I could barely move my arms and speak. After I was released from the ICU I was moved to another hospital to under take rehabilitation. After a few weeks I started gaining mobility in my arms. Every week as brought back further progression back a normal life. I'm currently sill paralyzed from the waist down. I was in rehabilitation for 63 days. I was released to go back home for further healing. I need your prayers for further healing on this road to back to a normal life
