Things have gotten both better and worse and certainly intense for Tred in the past two days.
On Friday Tred and Anni got results back from and MRI that Annie had requested because the paralysis was proceeding in the opposite direction that it should have been.

Imagine waking up in your bed in New York City (or any town near a major airport on the eastern seaboard) to a cold, miserable rain. Your first inclination is to hit the snooze button and roll over, but then you remember that this day is different. This day, by 2:00 this very afternoon, you’ll be casting to bonefish on the sun-soaked flats of a tropical island so desolate and remote you’ll think you've travelled half way around the world for two days just to get there. But you didn't. You'll have arrived there in under 5 hours.
