A Glimmer of Hope

I just got the call for today and FINALLY we have some good news!!! The Occupational Therepist was just working with Cory and not only did his periphrial vision come back today (he lost it yesterday), but his left hand was able to squeeze Chaney's hand. The doctors are glad for the progress but have to watch this improvement over the next week to make sure it wasnt just a one time feat. Still, Chaney was very excited. She did say it took everything out of him just to squeeze her hand and now he is exhausted, but he too is happy for ANYTHING in the right direction. The nurse was also starting Cory's 8th IVIG while I was talking to Chaney. Just to give you some reference, the doctors were hoping one bag would stop the disease and start the healing process, so getting his 8th bag is kind of a big deal. Thats all I have for now, but I'm sure I will talk to Chaney again before tonight.
