Hello Friends,
Today, Linda struggled a bit with her neck / spine pain. She was also feeling spasms in her arms and legs and other parts of her body that made it difficult for her to get (and stay) comfortable. While we hate to see her in pain, the fact that she’s feeling her arms and legs is a miracle in itself, and for that we are all grateful. She’s handling it like a trooper! She has the best attitude and is amazing her doctors and nurses with small medical miracles every single day.
Tonight, Linda was super excited because she knew that a huge community of the kindest, most positive, most loving people EVER, were coming together to pray for her. At 7:45pm, she asked, “What time is it?” Jokingly, I responded, “Why? Are you going somewhere?” She said, “No! I just can’t wait to pray!!!” And so at 8:00pm, we did just that. And then she rested.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people, near and far, who stopped to pray for Linda’s recovery today. We “conservatively” estimate that over 1,500 people collectively prayed for her at the exact same time. That kind of faith moves mountains! Please continue to send Linda your prayers and positive thoughts…and Linda wants you to remember, “With God, all things are possible!”
Love to you all,
Sally Araujo Costa
After my accidental fall resulting in a severe spinal injury on August 1, 2017, doctors felt I wouldn't survive much past the initial 5 hr surgery. They also described the break as a complete injury which would leave me paralyzed, with a tracheotomy, feeding tube.
My motto since day one has been “ you don’t know me!” and I proved that in the past 2 years. Turns out the injury was not a complete injury. With that the hunt began to find PT that had the equipment to help me overcome the injury.
So always keep in mind these things in mind: Courage, Perseverance, Faith, Hope and Love.
