but im writing this to let you know that that paralasis was only temporary... she went to rehab and learned to use all of the affected muscles again... it was a lot of hard work, but i think it brought her and my dad closer together while they did it together

i hope this helps, at least a little
*hugs* for you both and good luck too!
