Dear Friends,
With his residual legs healed from Fall’s surgeries, Gabe sets out to make more progress in wearing his amazing prosthetic legs. On Friday, Gabe documented his effort to get started walking again, and created this message to share with his cherished supporters and friends.
I am so proud of his determination and positive spirit!

Isn’t Gabe looking good?
It’s amazing to see him doing so well, especially now that I have taken a few weeks to return to my clinic in Kerala, India – Rasa Ayurveda – and like you, I’m watching Gabe on the screen and not seeing him in person this week!
What has been accomplished so far can never be fully explained, but I’m feeling really grateful and satisfied to see that Gabe has not only survived, but he’s now in school, driving, set up with a good medical support team… There is a long path to tread still, to get him up onto legs and fully back into life, but he’s really made enormous progress and I’m sure he will continue.
In this last month before leaving for Kerala, while juggling work responsibilities and Gabe’s care, I was able to hire and train an assistant to help out with things Gabe can’t do just yet – Suzy (She’s great!), and also rented an accessible house (This was not an easy task!) near Gabe’s college for us to share for the next year or so, while Gabe faces more surgeries and healing and hits his stride in attending college.
Our move in date is December 1st, but dear friends in New Jersey are sponsoring Gabe’s travel back there for the holidays. I’ll meet Gabe there for Christmas on my way back from my “other home” in India.
Come January 1st, it’ll be time to set up the house as a functional and healing environment for Gabe and myself. We’ve been so fortunate to be cared for by so many friends, but it will be a special kind of restoration to settle down in a place of our own.
Just FYI – We are in real need of furniture for the house! If you live in Sonoma County and have items you don’t need anymore, please call our assistant Suzy at 707-484-1754. We need pretty much everything!
Gabe and I send you blessings for a very peaceful and enjoyable Thanksgiving, wherever you are. One thing is for certain – while Gabe will celebrate the holiday at Grandma’s house, and I’ll be here on the other side of the world – maybe sipping a bowl of pumpkin soup – We’ll BOTH BE OFFERING OUR PRAYERS OF GRATITUDE FOR THE SUPPORT WE’VE RECEIVED FROM ALL OF YOU THRU THIS DEEPLY CHALLENGING PERIOD OF THE LAST 6 MONTHS.
BLESS YOU ALL!
With love,
Niika
