WCGreen Update -- Sunday, July 27, 2014 [View all]

From his wife:

A new Christopher Green update:

Yesterday I got a strange text from Chris, then my phone rang.. It said it was Chris, but the person on the other end was talking! i asked who it was? IT WAS CHRIS!!!!!!! He was a little froggy, but my darling man was talking! I could not get ready and race ti the hospital without crying tears of joy! It was a wondefrul day!

It turns out it is a fairly simple thing to transform his trac. Why didn't they do this before?
