Tanners Update

I just talked with Scott and he is doing well. He is feeling better and really feels he will mend just fine.
Tanner has not been able to visit with any of his doctors yet today which means that Scott and Stacie still are awaiting opinions from additional professionals. However, Scott was able to give me the following information:
1. So far, aside from a radical surgery that might become available, all the surgery that can be done for Tanner has been done and time will tell.
2. He has feeling in his buttocks and heels and there appeared to be an encouraging movement in his knee this morning. While the nurses are skeptical about the movement, the Godfrey family remains very positive.
3. The fact that he has feeling in his buttocks implies that the spinal column is "transmitting" all the way to the base of the column which is very good news. The key to recovery will be Tanner's ability to "re-train" his lower half to walk again and that comes down to a matter of time and physical therapy.
I will keep everyone posted as I hear any news. It is still very early on so the hope is that through the healing of the spinal column, he will be able to fully recover over time. Tanner still needs to meet with his doctors to see what they have in mind for the healing process.
Scott asked me to communicate his appreciation for the love, support, and prayers that have been offered on his and Tanners behalf. The whole family is extremely grateful.
