Working Overtime

Daddy had a VERY full day of therapy today. Typically, he has 3 hours of therapy sessions a day (in 30 minute increments). Today he was able to receive extra attention and they stretched it to 4 hours! I came up to visit after lunch and he was wiped out! Good thing he got a lot of rest this last weekend.

In one of his physical therapy sessions, they had daddy practicing using a walker. His therapist is still working on strengthening his hamstring in his right leg and hopes to see it engaging soon. We are definitely praying that too and look forward to the day we see him use his walker without assistance.



The occupational therapist worked with daddy on strengthening his right arm. You’ll see in the video below that he is putting all his weight on his right arm while he moves the cones with his left hand. We’re so proud of how hard daddy works each and every day!



His speech therapist monitored his eating today and has graduated him to a “soft” diet. No more mush! He will still have some food restrictions, such as, salad or fresh fruits and vegetables, but we know that daddy will continue to improve and will graduate to an open diet soon!


Thanks again for all the prayers and support. Keep them coming our way!
