Michael Hulshouser at his graduation ceremony on February 20th.
When he arrived at MethodistRehabilitationHospital Oct. 20, 2008, Michael Hulshouser was a quadriplegic, stricken by Guillain-Barré syndrome and barely able to lift his head. Now four months later, under the care of his therapist and the rehabilitation staff, the 48-year-old father of two is able to walk by himself with the aid of a walker. “My son said that all he wanted for Christmas was for me to be able to walk,” says Hulshouser. “Three weeks after Christmas and three days before my birthday I was able to do that.” Hulshouser says the staff has done wonderful things for him. “I had given up,” he says. “They brought me back.” He also says the hospital has great food and the chef honored any special requests he made. “I’ve gained over 25 pounds since I’ve been here,” he says. The great food, he says, lifted his spirits and aided in his recovery.
