The second surgery was a success. The doctor said he was able to reattach the nerve in my right arm using donor tissue, which prevented him from having to cut into my leg and borrow nerves from there. The doctor said I have a pretty good chance of regaining full use of my hand, but it will take around 12 months to fully see if it worked or not.

I would also like to take a minute and express how overwhelmed and blessed I am to have have so many people in my life that care so much about me and my family. The generosity and kindness we have received has been more than I could’ve ever dreamed of. The Love you guys have shown me is what I use as strength to get through this ordeal.

I wish I could thank everyone individually and spend time with each and everyone of you. I really don’t have the words to describe The love and generosity we have been shown. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
