Glad to hear he's doing better, hopefully his condition improves a bit more even so. My boss has MD to the point where she's in an electric wheel chair and somewhat crippled in the arms but she can still use them. it doesn't get her down at all though, she'll run you the hell over lol. I wish the best for your uncle!

That's incredible. :O

It wasn't his time yet.

Well... I guess sometimes... Just sometimes... You get a lucky break when it seems the least likely. Nothing to do but go with it!

I hope he stays better and keeps gettin' betterer. :)

never bet aginst a bodies will to live.

Oh wow o.o That is awesome!!!! :D *glomps over and squeeeeeeeeeels!!!*

I feel ya dude. Gone through that too. It's a long and winding road and it never gets easier but at least, there is some more time on the clock.

Best wishes for you and your family chief.

Mik's ass cured his muscular dystophy.

My doctor explained it cause my grandma had this happen over and over and over again before she died of repeatedly relapsing into coma's was that when they pass into the coma their body starts repairing and regenerating, they wake up, but the very effort of being awake is too much for the body to take, and they fall back into a coma again and again

When she was awake she could get up, walk around etc, but 2-5 days later boom, back into a coma again

My prayers go out to you, I know how hard it is

I am remarkably glad to hear that.

for as fragile as the human body is, it is REMARKABLY adept at recovering from wounds. it's a little scary the shit we can "get better" from

I've heard it said that humans are the toughest creatures on the planet because of this. People like to equate health with horses in their prime, but a horse is fragile as spun glass compared to a human being.

Use this time well. Interact, talk, and get to know them even better as best you can.

I think he must have grabbed the Grim Reaper by the balls or something XD Nice to hear the good news though

I wouldn't say complete mystery considering the extent we now understand the human body

the human body is as strong as the spirit that lives within.

So.... who sold their soul for this man?

That's wonderful!!! I'd probably get tests done to see if it was a change of meds or a shift in body chemistry to see if it's something that can be further encouraged for his well-being and comfort, but no matter what it's amazing that he's doing better! The human body truly is an amazing thing <3

I still remember my dad telling me when he had appendicitis. He had such severe abdominal pains, and his mom kept insisting it was his appendix, but the doctors kept claiming it was on the wrong side of the body so it had to be something else. His mom managed to push and push enough that they finally checked it, and not only had his appendix burst, but his body had wrapped the bits and pieces in a strange membrane doctors couldn't explain. Had they waited another couple of days, the membrane would have broken down and my dad would have died. But thanks to the membrane and a wonderfully stubborn woman, he made it through :3

I really wouldn't call it a mystery anymore since we know so much about it today^^
In some cases people do get better and recover from pretty severe medical issues. Which is amazing! I guess some people are just a little tougher than others or just get lucky^^

Anyway, they should still keep a close eye on him. In some cases people got better and then they got straight back to being as sick as they were before.
In any case, I hope your uncle stays on his way to recovery and that he will be better soon! :3

a great battle will not be lost until someone lose the will to fight and the one that supports them

glad to help

That's still rather interesting even though many have commented up above the reasons for this situation. Now I'm not religious, but maybe someone up there may have given him more moments to live normally and see his family and whatnot, but that's just me.

As always, keep an eye out for him and wishing you, him, and the family the best at least.

That's awesome!

Will continue to pray for him.

"The body is nothing without the mind."

The power of our will and spirit is what truly moves our bodies to do what we want. :D

That's just amazing. Congrats to your uncle and his recovery. Hopefully his quality of life will remain very good for a long time to come.

Something similar happened to my dad back in 2007. He'd been dealing with prostate cancer for many years (do-nothing oncologist, long story), but then one day he was rushed to the emergency room. They found out his kidneys just shut down for no known reason, and the amount of cancer in his body had exploded. One of the doctors (don't know if it was Dr. Do-nothing or somebody else) gave him 24 hours to 2 weeks to live. Without functioning kidneys they couldn't put him on any sort of cancer treatment to knock that back down. They did put him on dialysis so he could get his affairs in order and make a decision on what to do regarding end of life things. Well, after a few weeks of dialysis his kidneys started functioning on their own again, also for no known reason. They took him off dialysis, and he got on board with a cancer doctor over at the University of Michigan. Dad's still on cancer treatments because it did spread to other parts of his body, but as of yesterday, more than 6 years after he was given 24 hours to live, he was doing just fine. I guess the lesson of stories like these is to always keep your hopes up and don't stop trying to find answers until the person is actually gone.

That is good news! I hope that he continues to get better!

I'm glad for you. <3

Wow, very glad to hear he's better! Here's hoping and praying he continues to recover.

Great news! Bizarre, but great news! I didn't know it was possible to reverse MD like that.

thats good news, we don't realise how much we really value someone until its to late.

Well, I guess he still has more time on the clock.

Well, hope he continues down the road of recovery!!

so he pretty much went and said "not done yet" :P

awesome for him

I'm very glad for the good news. You never can tell when someone is ready to go. A lot of times people surprise us, and the pleasant surprises are always the most welcome.

I wish you and your family well. :)

Muscular Dystrophy AKA peripheral neuropathy. I have CMT (Charcott,Marie, Tooth) a form of MD. I never knew you had relitives with this condition (a form of anyway) I know how bad the disease can get.

My early childhood wasn't a picnic as it hit me a bit early on and I didn't even start walking till a bit latter than others. I seen how bad it can progress and I haven't hit thouse stages yet. I still can walk on my own but fatigue really quick, I use a cain and sadlly because of "insurence" noone would cover foot orthotics that I really desperatly need.

I am happy that your uncle's condition made a turn for the better. =)

One of my clients has MD. It's rough stuff. Glad to hear he made it.
