Julie
Thomas, my friend, has shared with me the exciting
Body by Vi Challenge. I learned
about this challenge after hearing Julie and Bill
Thomas' story. Please read below about Bill Thomas,
Julie’s husband.
On January 29, 2007, Bill Thomas, 40, was a surfer,
biker, scuba diver, hiker, coin collector, camper,
fisherman, auto mechanic, and – most of all – an
adoring husband and father of two boys aged 7 months
and 3 years.
On January 30, 2007, Bill went home during his lunch
hour to spend it with his family. His neck started
to feel odd, and they put an ice-pack on it. He
called his family doctor to make an appointment.
Then his legs started to feel numb and he asked his
wife, Julie, to take him to the emergency room. As
Bill started down the hall, he staggered and
couldn’t walk, so Julie called 911. By the time he
got to the hospital he was paralyzed from the neck
down, including the muscles necessary to breathe,
and he could only whisper. Bill was in hospitals in
California and Georgia until August 24, 2007.
Bill Thomas is one of
only 33 people WORLDWIDE known to have suffered a
rare spinal stroke. Of those 33 people,
he is the only
quadriplegic on a ventilator.
Because the only real joy Bill had been too eat, no
one denied Bill anything. Bill went from a 34”
waist to a 44’ waist. Julie and the nurses were all
having such a hard time moving Bill. Before Julie
knew much about the Body by Vi shakes and
supplements, she started Bill on them. He lost 37
pounds and Julie was sold out.
