Best of luck to Micah. I feel for him - I came pretty close myself.
Good to hear he's getting some feeling back - an excellent sign.
Here's the guys who fixed me (I sent it to poop tube as well).
If you see him tell him I sent you....

That is fantastic! In a year and a half he will be out-climbing all of us "again."
(I am putting my faith on that.)
As for some more useful knowledge...
It is possible for nerve regeneration in Spinal Cord Injuries.
Here is a link for that...

There will be a benefit for him Thursday July 10th at the Comedy Club in La Jolla.
If you want to come or know people who do, please send them our way!
We're also looking for door prizes for the raffle. If you have any connections with stores, restaurants and such, please ask for some small donation to help us raise funds

Again thank you to everyone! I'm amazed at the quality and dedication of his friends! Micah is being sedated for the next few days because his second surgery was so intense. He'll mostly be sleeping. I know we do need a few good friends to help cover shifts of sitting by him, mostly at night (one at a time) . This isn't the time to just "visit" as he needs quiet and sleep, but our family is having difficulty balancing everything and keeping someone by Micah's side at all times. Please call Simeon if you can sit for a while, only good friends please.
By the way, we're organizing several benefits, La Jolla Comedy Store on July 10th. Should be a blast and I think we might be able to wheel him in! We're going to have coctails, prizes, and great company! Something positive to look foreward to.
My mom opened a trust account to help pay for expenses and take care of Micah's 3 kids, here's the info:
Washington Mutual, account # 494077098, Micah Retz.
Anything will help.
Again, thank you for your love, prayers, and support!
Meggin (Micah's little sister=)

Good luck Micah. If it helps as an inspiration I will mention that I saw Bachar climbing up on the East Side a few days ago. He looked really fit and was sending the big steep .11s with ease and poise. Anyone who did not know would never have a clue what he’s been through.
Everyone's pulling for you. You can do it too!

Hi Guys. I visited Micah and his family on Sunday. As his sister Meggin posted above, right now he is recovering from surgery, under heavy medication, and mostly sleeping. He will remain sedated until they are able to remove the apparatus from his throat that is helping him breathe. Theres not much else to say until then.
I would like to put together a climbing slide show for the benefit on July 10th. If anyone has photos or videos of him climbing, please send them my way: darshahlu@gmail.com.
Also, does anyone know how to get a cellphone photo off my cellphone and onto the computer?
Thanks,
Darshan
Oh yeah, on Sunday he wiggled his arms/wrists, perhaps to show us that he could.

Can we deposit into Micah's account at any Washington Mutual or do we need to go to a specific branch. Please excuse my ignorance of how the banking world works.

101kgb.com (a local San Diego radio show) is having a $1,000 give away every day for the next few weeks. I already submitted an application for Micah. It's really easy and if a lot of us try for it, maybe we can get some of these medical expenses paid. We also want to raise money for an expensive rehab center.
Thanks Again! It only takes a few minutes.
Meggin =)

Update: june 11
http://www.Micah-Retz.com[/b]
We have created a website to keep you updated as to Micah's status, and which we will also post photos, stories, etc. There is also a link to paypal from this site to increase the convenience of donation. (paypal is an easy way to use a credit card to pay)
Thanks for all your support!
You can go into any Washington Mutual and tell them the money is for Micah Retz and they should know what to do.
I also made some flyers for the benefit, if you send me your email (write to megginralphs@hotmail.com) I'll send you the file.
I also have a file of pictures of him, to use for publicity, send me an email (same address) and I'll send it out.
THANKS!!!!

Thinking positive will make all the difference for him. If we all visualize him walking and healed that will manifest. If we don't perhaps he wont. The power of positive thoughts are attractive to the healing process. Positivity makes all the difference. He can get through this no matter what.
