Your fortitude and strength have been a testimony to me and many others. I marvel at the love that surrounds you from family and friends. My husband, Lee, and myself continue to pray for your complete recovery and always look forward to the updates on your progress. God is so good.

Dear Steve,
We so enjoyed coming to see you at the hospital. We are so happy to hear you are now able to eat real food. HURRAY!!! We worked very hard in Harrison, Ohio after we had seen you. Three other couples came to help us remodel a 1863 farm house for a couple heading overseas as missionaries.
Now we are finally home again and ready to rest. We send our love and prayers to you for speedier nerve cell regrowth. We will celebrate every new victory with you.
Love,

Hi Steve,
I am so excited that you are going to be able to read notes on the internet....It is simply amazing to me to learn what is possible. You have come such a long way from that day Bob and I came to the hospital to see you on June 1. In just 3 days, we will be marking the 6th anniversary of the day Bob came home from his hospital stay.
I read this morning in a note from Nancy that you are finally able to once again taste real food. I am sure that turkey dinner seemed just like Thanksgiving!
Also it is amazing that you are able to assist the doctors and nurses in learning more about how to treat GBS patients and in communicating your own feelings and ideas to them.
Your GBS experience has been much like Bob's, but also has had some differences. I am looking forward to the day that you call us on the phone and tell us in your own voice that you have been able to stand and take your first step!
Can't wait to see you again! You have some hard work ahead of you, but you can do it!! GBS, as terrible as it is, has made Bob and I stronger than ever in our faith, and in our love. We have found a new purpose in our lives as well......reaching out to other patients with encouragement, friendship, and prayers. We have met so many others that understand what it means to go through this journey.
Have a wonderful day and week ahead. Hoping for continued milestones for you in the days and weeks to come!!

Hello Steve,
Wally and I have been praying for you and Nancy almost daily. I am amazed by your determination and the power of prayer. I know God has been with you every step of this journey and you will have a powerful testimony after it is over. You and Nancy will be sailing again soon, I just know it.
Take care Steve. We look forward to talking with you soon!

Steve and Nancy,
Praying for you !!!!!!!! What a journey you are on! We follow the updates daily and I share them with mom and we are so happy for you with each little evidence of progress. My friend Nora (a nurse, my co-worker, and also my Christian sister at our church) went through GB a few years ago and so I go to her for explanations and understanding of the "patient" and personal side of your journey. I love you both (mom sends her love and prayers too)!!!!
Love,
