Workman's comp is sending Moberly to a doctor in California next month to get an evaluation from a specialist. They are trying to get specific medical answers to determine wether they want to take the case or not.
We have put together a raffle to try and raise the money for Moberly an HBOT machine that proved to help him when he was back in Missouri. Moberly built a very custom Rock Rivers Arms AR-15 rifle that we are selling tickets for $20 a piece and will be drawing at the Shelby community picnic at the new fire station on July 4th. We also had a full size quilt made and donated by a very special lady here in the community that we are raffling off the same day and tickets for it are also $20. We hope to raise enough to purchase this hyperbaric unit for Moberly so that he can be getting some sort of treatment to help his brain and leg heal faster and more fully.
We want to thank everyone that has helped us through this very tough time in our lives. We appreciate the prayers and every way that the community and nation has helped.

Still no word from OWCP on the next step with the doctor visit. An A Chief from Washington has been keeping in close contact with us to try and help out anyway they can from that end.
We are taking it one day at a time. We again thank everybody for their support in the many ways you have shown us. Until next time.....God bless you.

Sorry it's been a while since I've given an update, it's been a really hectic month. The kids and I just got back from dropping Moberly off in Missouri to stay with his brother for a while. It is a quite a bit warmer down there and the cold here was causing him to regress a quite a bit since we had been home from Missouri at Christmas time. He plans on staying for a couple of months to see how it goes. He doesn't want to stay away from his family for very long. We just hope that being in the warmer environment and getting more medical care will help him recover faster. When he fell and broke his nose and ribs back in January he started having a lot of pressure in his head. The doctor did a CT Scan on him and didn't find anything unusual. He's had very bad headaches quite often since he's been sick but they seemed to have gotten worse after his fall. His pain level went way up after returning home and his speech also got worse.
Before we left last week to take Moberly to Missouri he received a power wheelchair from the Scooter Store as a donation from a program called "The Gift of Mobility". It was a total suprise to him and it happened to come the day before his birthday. He was so excited, he wouldn't get out of it for over 2 hours. It is so much easier for him to get around in and easier for me to not have to push him in the manual wheelchair. Some of the guys from the local Shelby Border Patrol Station came over to help with the surprise. Pator Paul came over and helped lure him outside while the newspaper photographer Melani, took pictures of his surprised face. My boss wasn't able to make it due to being short-staffed but she has been very supportive through this whole ordeal. It was just an awesome gift and we are so thankful to Karen who called and got the whole thing arranged with the Scooter Store. Also we are so grateful for Wally the guy who delivered it here from Billings. He was such an awesome guy. He made sure everything was set before he left and then ended up bringing us a ramp the next day to help us get it transported back to Missouri. The Shelby Promoter put an article on the front page so here is the link to read it. http://www.shelbypromoter.com/articles/2009/02/18/shelby_promoter/news/news1.txt
We are still fighting OWCP on this case. The have now decided that he doesn't have infectious food poisoning or the flu but that he has bacterial food poisoning. They say his symptoms and ongoing disabilities are not related to the "food poisoning" so they are not paying for any of his therapies, medications and doctors visits or anything for that matter. They have decided to send him to another doctor to try and get another opinion on what is going on with him. We are not sure when this is supposed to happen but it's has been told that it is coming down shortly. It is a crying shame that Dept. of Labor has the power to put someones life in their hands and crush it while we stand by helpless and watch.
The FBI joint investigation is still ongoing as is the $25,000 reward they put out back in the fall.

Occupational therapy and speech therapy is going well. After the holidays he will be starting physical therapy as well. He gets pretty exhuasted from occupational therapy but it's helping him build back his strength. Speech therapy is not quite as hard on him physically but is mentally exhausting. His pain level has increased quite a bit since the weather has turned cold and the many days of snow. We try to limit his time outdoors so he doesn't get too miserable. Jerry came by Monday night and took us out to eat. By the time we got home Moberly's right leg was shaking uncontrollably. He was barely able to walk until his body got warmed up and his nerves stopped jerking. He loves getting to go out with the guys for lunch. The guys will stop by and take him to his favorite place for lunch and he comes home in a little better spirits. It helps when he's around the guys from work because he misses work so much. We went to the Christmas party with all the guys and girls from Shelby and Sweetgrass. He had an awesome time getting to visit with everyone and seeing people he hadn't been able to see. A very special thank you for the ones who helped get him in and out that night. It's hard for me to lift the wheelchair in and out of the truck so some of them helped with that.
Moberly has been taking on some gun projects for some of the guys. He is able to sit in his newly renovated "room" and work on guns. He has very little feeling in his right fingers so sometimes he has a hard time with small things but he is able to work around it. He has enjoyed having something to do instead of sitting on the couch all day and watch tv. He has never been one to sit in front of the tv very often. He spends a lot of time in his "room" just looking at his things and thinking up more things he can put on the walls. Having something to work on has definitely helped him not focus on his pain so much.
I pray all of you will have a very Blessed and Merry Christmas. Thank you so much for all the support, love and prayers this year. We will continue to need that in the following year. God has shown us how wide and deep his love for us is through all of you. The Christmas Angels in the community brought us a Christmas basket for the family. That was such an awesome thing. We would like to thank all who were involved in that, it mean a lot. Also we would like to thank the angels who have been cleaning the snow off of the ramp, porch and sidewalk. Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!! God bless you all.

He has stopped the chelation treatments for now and will be re-evaluated in 2-3 months to see if he will continue and for how long. He truly believes that the chelation has helped his recovery so far.
Last week he had a pretty bad week with his pain levels being up around 8-10. The doctor and I both feel that this is due to the winter weather change. And also has to do with the healing process. Moberly says he will not be getting out much once it turns really cold.
Moberly and I would like to thank the Havre Sector Peer Support for all the help they have given us. There are so many other people and agents outside of Peer Support that have also given us much appreciated help that are too numerous to name them all.

Saturday Moberly went deer hunting with a good friend Jerry from Sweet Grass. Jerry drove him up to a pop-up blind in the Sweet Grass Hills that he had set up the day before. He drove him right up to the blind and got him inside to sit in a seat. As Moberly said, "even handicapped people can hunt". He said a white-tail doe came right to him and he shot it with a 243 WSSM through the window of the blind. This was his first time deer hunting in 15 years and the first deer he's ever gotten. Moberly says "a great big thanks to Jerry". We also want to thank John from the Shelby station for taking Ethan and Whitney hunting on Saturday. This was their first time hunting. Ethan shot an 8 point (4x4 in Montana) buck and was so excited. Whitney had a few good shots in her crosshairs but decided not to take the shot. Thanks again John for taking them.

I just wanted to let everybody know how things are going. It's been really hectic around here and I haven't had a chance to get an update out in a while. I know Jeremy has been trying to keep updates going on the blog but they've been busy moving.
As most of you already know we went to the University of Utah about 3 weeks ago and got a very good prognosis for the first time since all this started in February. The doctor there said that Moberly was in the acute stages of the poisoning and he should be starting to see some improvement very soon. He also said that if he could hang on just a little while longer that he would beat this thing and recover almost back to normal. Since then he has stablized and we are seeing some small improvements. His face is looking really good right now with color back in it and his eyes are not turning black hardly at all anymore. In the past week or two he has had 2 or 3 days that his pain level has actually been down a little from his normal range of 8-10. His muscles have been doing a lot of twitching especially at night time and his nerves are tingling and making some discomfort. He has not had feeling or movement in his right leg from the knee down in several months. This week he has been having a little movement in his right ankle and as of tonight he had pretty much full motion with it. He still doesn't have feeling in his toes and most of his foot but he says that his toes have been tingling. His muscles and nerves have been moving and tingling quite a bit because they are starting to get feeling and movement back in them. Of course keep in mind the last 3 doctors that he has seen have told him his recovery time would be at least 2-5 years. He has been sleeping a lot through the day this past week which is good because that is his body's natural way of healing is to sleep. He is still on numerous pain and muscle meds, but the medicine seems like it is working better than it had been. He had some testing last week to see if he had any brain damage but wasn't able to finish with the testing because he tires out too easily. He will finish that up in a few weeks. That doctor told him that he doesn't believe he has any permanent brain damage but will need to finish that testing to know for sure. He did tell him that he has what's called DAI and you can research it on the net if you want to know exactly what it is. The bottom line is he has sustained so much damage to his brain from first the poison and then all the falls where he hit his head that the doctor told him he would likely not survive if he fell and hit his head again. The doctor recommended him to wear a helmet at all times unless he is sleeping. He wanted something to match his wheelchair so at least he would look cool!!! He says he went from warrior to wheelchair warrior. He has a knee brace that locks so that his right knee can't bend and give way. He is walking a lot more stable around the house now but still has to use his wheelchair when he goes out. His speech has been a little better this past week but you can tell when he gets tired or in pain because his speech gets really slow, slurred and stuttery. His spirits are really good right now. He has had so many e-mails, phone calls, cards and visitors that he doesn't have time to get down. His dad, brother and brothers family have been up to see him recently. That was the best thing for him in a long time. Also his really good friend from Washington came over to see him and that lifted his spirits greatly. I can't tell you how much we appreciate everybody that has prayed, called, wrote and helped in numerous other ways. He now has about two and a half years of sick leave that has been donated to him by numerous federal agencies. The donations into his medical benefit fund have been unbelievable. He has gotten all the messages and e-mails that you all have so graciously sent. He does not talk very well so he doesn't like to be on the phone a lot and it takes him way too long to type an e-mail so he just reads the ones he gets. Please don't stop calling and writing because you haven't heard from him, he gets a blessing from every one of them. If you want information or have a question that you want to ask it would be better to email me and I will answer what I can. If it's about the investigation I am not able to discuss that at this time. If the case gets busted wide open I will be glad to tell you that. He spends a lot of time on the road with his co-workers going back and forth to doctors appointments 2-3 times a week. All the people at his station and some of the surrounding stations have been so great in helping get him to his appointments and sitting with him during the day while I'm at work. I take him to the regular doctors appointments and they take him to his chelation appointments. He usually talks them into taking him to the Harley shop or a gun shop while they are down there!!! He is trying to get together some gun projects to work on so he can stay busy. It's gets pretty boring sitting in the recliner all day watching tv day in and day out. Thank you all again for your love and prayers, I will continue to send updates when I can.
Mrs. Moberly
Great news everyone!
Thanks a lot y'all!!!

Latest Up To Date News on Moberly.
I know that a lot of you have been wondering what is going on and have not been able to see any new info posted here. Sorry about that. We have all been very busy over here and have not been able to get the information or post it as easily as we all would like. That is a good thing though because......
I could not get a hold of Moberly because he has been extremely busy with Doctors visits, fundraisers, etc. He has had very little time to himself these past few weeks and as a result he has discovered some very good things that I am sure will make you all feel a little better.
1) He feels better. He has less pain and is able to move around a little better on his own.
2) The leg brace allows him to walk on his own though he does struggle with dizziness at times while walking and has to use the wheelchair most of his time away from home.
3) He had to wear some protective headgear now due to the level of brain damage he has suffered from this poisoning. His Doctor is afraid of him falling and hitting his head saying that the amount of brain damage he has suffered could cause any falls to be fatal if he is not wearing a helmet.
4) He visited some Doctors in Utah and they said that the pesticide (they were able to confirm a few things about the pesticide as well) has already done all of the damage that it is going to do! They said that he will start healing now and that is very good. They said that he would never be 100% like he was but HE WILL HEAL!! The Doctors told him that it will take a good long while, it could even take years, but he will heal.
5) He has recently been able to do something that has been very therapeutic for him and very rewarding too. He has been able to focus on a hobby of his that gives him a better sense of purpose and has raised his moral. He has been able to finish building the AR-15 he started building before all of this. He says it makes him feel good being able work with his hands again the way he used too.
6) The investigation is ONGOING and is moving forward. That is all that can be said about it. I know that WE ALL want to know the information about the investigation right now but that is not possible. The only thing that they can tell us is what I just said. I will post any "breaking News" on that when I get any.
Lastly I would like to say thank you to all of the people who keep emailing me with your questions. There have been several requests for information from the media in different locations asking for the "411". I CANNOT give any information to the media about this incident. That is mostly because I have been asked not to by Moberly the rest is because I only know what it is that I post here. Please understand that we are not willing to risk any part of this investigation so we will not be giving out any information other than what is posted here.
Thank you so much for your understanding in this.
Moberly also wanted to say Thank You to all of you who have donated, Participated in fundraisers, emailed, prayed for him, visited him, cooked for them, socialized with them, called them, etc. Basically you get the idea. He is very grateful for all that you have done.
Until Next Time!

A quick note from someone who worked with the Fundraiser!
All,
The fundraiser was obviously a huge success and will go a long way to helping the Moberlys with their enormous debt caused by this malicious act . Mrs. Moberly said they were in awe of the support and were very appreciative.
The fundraiser was so very successful because everyone took part. Thank you all for your selfless contributions. We had over 120 silent auction items, tons of baked goods, many of you volunteering to bus tables, serve food, wash dishes, and open wallets. It is a huge testament to the Border Patrol and community when we can all pull together to take care of one of our own in this manner. Please pass along to all of your spouses who spent so much of their own time making and baking goods how successful the fundraiser was and how appreciative the Moberly’s are.
Thank you,

!!!SOME BIG DEVELOPMENTS FOR MOBERLY!!!
I JUST GOT OFF OF THE PHONE WITH MOBERLY AND HE TOLD ME A FEW THINGS THAT WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO KNOW.
FIRST HE SAID THAT HE IS EXPERIENCING A LOT OF TERRIBLE PAIN IN HIS SPINE AND LEGS AND THAT HE CAN FEEL THE PAIN IN HIS BONES. AS A RESULT, HE IS FORCED TO TAKE A SERIES OF MEDICATION THAT HE TRIED TO NAME FOR ME BUT THE LIST WAS TOO EXTENSIVE FOR ME TO REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THEM ALL.
HE TOLD ME SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS TOO AND YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW THIS STUFF! FIRST OFF, HE HAD HIS SECOND CHELATION TREATMENT TODAY AND HE SAID THAT IT HURT A LOT BUT HE IS GETTING WHAT HE NEEDS SO THAT IS GOOD.
NEXT HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS FITTED FOR A LEG BRACE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THAT THE BRACE WAS GOING TO HELP HIM GET AROUND ON HIS OWN TWO FEET AGAIN. THAT MADE MOBERLY AND HIS FAMILY VERY HAPPY BUT THEN CAME THE "BOTTOM LINE" FOR THE LEG BRACE TO THE TUNE OF $3,000.00! WHAT A KICK IN THE GUT!
HERE IS THE BEST PART OF THE ENTIRE THING THOUGH; MOBERLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE PEOPLE WITH THE BRACE AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT WHEN HIS IS READY ALL HE HAS TO DO IS PICK IT UP BECAUSE A "REALLY GOOD FRIEND HAS ALREADY PAID FOR IT IN FULL"!!!!
SO TO THE "REALLY GOOD FRIEND" OUT THERE, THANK YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE READING THIS AND THAT YOU WANT TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS BUT MOBERLY IS ELATED BY YOU ACT OF KINDNESS AS ARE WE ALL. GOD BLESS YOU "REALLY GOOD FRIEND"!
THERE IS MORE TO POST SO DON'T STOP THERE!
NOW, THE PATROL HAS TAKEN IT'S SHARE OF FLACK OVER THIS THING BUT MOBERLY WANTS ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT THEY ARE DOING TO HELP HIM RIGHT NOW.
LAST WEEK HE HAD SOME VISITORS FROM SECTOR AND H.Q. AND THEY TOLD HIM WHAT IT IS THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO FOR HIM. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE SETTING UP IS TREATMENT AT THE MAYO CLINIC IN MINNESOTA! THE MAYO CLINIC IS JUST THE PLACE TO HELP MEND OUR WOUNDED BROTHER AND THE PATROL HAS STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND IS MAKING IT HAPPEN.
THEY ARE STILL DEALING WITH THE "POWERS THAT BE" WHO HAVE CONTINUED TO DENY MOBERLY'S CLAIM FOR C.O.P. AND THEY EXPECT SOME RESULTS HERE VERY SOON.
AS I WAS TALKING TO MOBERLY TODAY HE TOLD ME THAT HE MIGHT TRY AND GET ONTO THE SITE TOMORROW AND WRITE YOU ALL PERSONALLY (SO LONG AS HIS ENERGY HOLDS UP) SO PLEASE CHECK BACK TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
YOU CAN ALSO REGISTER HERE WITH THE SITE (IT IS VERY SIMPLE AND TAKES ABOUT 27 SECONDS TO DO) SO THAT YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL EVERY TIME THERE IS AN UPDATE ON MOBERLY'S CONDITION.
THANKS A LOT GUYS, YOU ALL HAVE MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! KEEP IT UP!
ONE LAST THING BEFORE I GO:
TO MRS. MOBERLY,
WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE WORKING HARD AND SACRIFICING A LOT TO CARE FOR THE MAN YOU LOVE. WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE THAT HE IS DOING AS WELL AS HE IS. ALL OF YOUR WORK, TEARS, LONG DAYS AND LONGER NIGHTS ARE KNOWN TO US. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED FOR THE THINGS THAT YOU DO. THE THINGS WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT BUT KNOW THAT YOU ARE DOING. IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP YOU, PLEASE LET US KNOW. YOU ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO US AS YOUR HUSBAND IS.
GOD BLESS YOU.

Moberly's Newton-Azrak Award
Shown to the right is a picture of the Newton Azrak award. This award (in my opinion - and the opinion of several other agents) should have been awarded to Moberly quite some time ago when helped save the lives of two other brother agents. Moberly spotted a man on the Mexican side of the border that had a scoped rifle and was aiming it at our guys on the riverbank as they were preparing to secure a large load of dope. Moberly acted fast; he warned the agents of the threat and sucesfully engaged the subject from over 100 yards with his Beretta pistol! Here shortly, I will be including the testemonials of those two agents for everyone to read themselves. These are going to be the actual words from the agents involved so PLEASE STAY TUNED!!
