My little brother, the superhero!

Shaughn's new name should be Superman. Just got a call from him and Mom. He had another MRI taken on his neck today. The same technician that took the first MRIs back in March (to confirm the broken C2 bone) took these, and apparently the newest MRIs show NO TRACE of any broken neck bones! The technician said that had he not been the one who took the initial MRIs he never would have believed that Shaughn's neck was ever broken. Absolutely amazing, possibly even a miracle??...

Thank God that Shaughny has some tough guardian angels who are obviously working a lot of overtime to get him back to his old self! We are so lucky to have our baby brother with us today, let alone (nearly) back to normal!

Next step for him is to hopefully get his brace off on Tuesday. He is seeing his new doctor, Dr. Pensick, and they are going to take his brace off and test his range of motion and such. But if the MRI results are any sign, Shaughn is going to be losing his beard and showering again in just a few days!

I'm a bit emotional about the whole thing again today, but probably because it's finally almost done. Thanks again to everyone who kept Shaughn in their thoughts and prayers the past few months. There's no doubt in my mind that you helped his recovery!
