That’s kinda the theme round these parts lately.
Andy’s progress in therapy is really great so far. Again, he is feeling stronger every day.
He pretty much pops up from his bed to the walker now and is feeling much more steady on his feet. In physical therapy today he walked between the parallel bars without holding on. He is learning how to go up steps, get in and out of the shower and transfer in and out of the car with his walker. He is working on his balance and doing a lot of arm and core work in occupational therapy.
There still hasn’t been any talk of when Andy will get to come home. I asked the doctor what her expectations are in order for Andy to be discharged. She wants him to transfer easily from sitting, from the car etc. and she would like to see him walking without the walker.
He’s headed in the right direction, but there is still plenty of work to be done.
And of course he’s still in good spirits.
Still thinking and praying for you guys! Go Andy Go!
