Just wanted to give everyone an update before we leave for the holidays. The Moberly family will be going home for Christmas. We have planned a few get togethers so that friends, co-workers and classmates can come and see Moberly. It will lift his spirits to see so many friends and all the support he has back home. Saturday, Dec. 27th from 5-7:30 we will be at the Rolla Police Dept. and on Tuesday, Dec. 30th from 5-7:30 we will be at the Lebanon Police Dept. Anyone who would like to come and visit or meet Moberly is welcome to come.
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.

UPDATE 9/4/08
I spoke to Moberly today and he is feeling very worn out but he told me that his morale is good and that he is looking forward to getting his treatments underway.
He also told me that his Doctor now believes that the treatments will allow him to heal to some degree witch is better than what he had been told originally.
Furthermore, I was speaking to Salinas in Laredo and he told me that the Welfare and Recreation down there was going to hold a bowling tournament on Moberly's behalf to help raise funds for him. You can read the announcement below.

UPDATE 9/1/08
I spoke to Moberly today and he was not sounding too good. I told him about all of the different ways that Y'all have come together to help and he wanted me to let everyone know how grateful he is for everything.
He is very weak but his Dr. believes that she can remove the poison from his system and prevent it from doing too much more damage. Chelation is a binding agent that will be administered (in this case) through an I.V. . The bonding agent will attach itself to the toxins in his body and allow him to flush them from his system. The process process will require him to go back and forth between his home and the hospital (a couple of hours away) twice a week. I am sure that I don't have to tell you how much this treatment is costing them in gas ALONE! Not to mention the medical treatment that the D.O.L. is still refusing to pay for.
The Dr. seems to be confident that she can slow or even stop the progression of the poison but she has stated that the existing damage probably cannot be reversed or mended.
Moberly's current condition is that he has limited use of his legs (he often utilizes a wheelchair or crutches to get around) and he has lost some of the sight in his right eye. There are several other complications as well, each one worse than the other it would seem, but it would take a long while to write them down. However, I am sure you get the idea.
It will be a long and difficult road for him and his family but it is easier for them when they see how much support they have in us.
Thanks a lot guys!

Question from San Antonio, TX
Q) I'm sure I've worked with Moberly in one way or another but that's not the point. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. My question however is as to what the poison was and is/are there someone, we (the govt) investigating this crime? I'm actually very surprised this hasn't happened before.
A) Yes, There is an investigation that is ongoing involving several federal agencies as well as local LEOs. I can't go too deeply into the facts but he (Moberly) is believed to have been poisoned with an unidentified type of pesticide.
