loads of presents underneath their tree. It has been very hard on all of us, but we can only imagine what these two young boys must be going through. So again, thank you for making two little boys happy at such a difficult time!
On January 6th, Stephen & Melissa flew back to Baltimore to begin working with dr. John McDonald, who is also the doctor that worked closely with Christopher Reeves.
On January 6th, Stephen & Melissa flew back to Baltimore to begin working with dr. John McDonald, who is also the doctor that worked closely with Christopher Reeves.
Dr. McDonald joined Kennedy Kennedy Krieger Institute in 2004 in order to launch a brand-new spinal cord rehabilitation and research program with a focus on pediatric paralysis, a program that will become the only of its kind in the world. Dr. McDonald also holds a primary appointment as associate professor in the department of neurology at Johns Hopkins university school of medicine with co-appointments in physical medicine and rehabilitation and neuroscience departments.
Dr. McDonald sits on the advisory boards of two companies, Restorative Therapies, Inc. Of Baltimore, MD and Bioaxone of Montreal, Canada. He is the present chairman of the spinal cord injury research program advisory board at the University of Missouri, Columbia and holds positions on the New York state SCI research board, and the Philadelphia Shriner's hospital medical advisory board.
Stephen's father is there with him and good friend Clint, who has helped since Stephen & Melissa have been home from Denver.
We still receive many emails as to where to find the T-shirts & Stephen Murray merchandise. Dan's comp, has offered to be our main distributor in all sales of merchandise. 100% of the sales go directly to Stephen's fund.
We have been so fortunate to have received support from so many around the world. If not for all of you, opening your hearts and keeping Stephen in your prayers, we would have never been able to provide him with some of the necessities he needs to be home instead of a hospital room.
There are so many I would personally love to thank, but concern I might leave someone out, please know you are all, close in our hearts and we are forever grateful to have you in our life's!
Much love & appreciation,
Kimarie
