Climbing Stairs

In the last blog, I failed to mentioned that Maxine Hamblin came to visit. We love having Maxine as our neighbor. She is a great person. She was the first person to help when the accident happened. Friday started kind of yucky but once I got him going, he did great. Andrew had three therapy classes in a row. In PT, he climb four stairs. He didn't even pause. Right up and right down. We were amazed. Next he did some soccer kicks. He tried one standing up. That was a lot of effort. He even wheeled the wheel chair by himself. I push the pole behind him. He took a good nap. We tried having another PT session after his nap. Connor, Cody, Seth, Camille and Taylor came by. They went to PT with him. Unfortunately, it was cut short. Andrew got sick to his stomach. It is amazing how much effort it takes the body to recover its strength. We love Andrew's PT, Janine, she is an amazing person, very motivational. Connor wheeled him back. Then they took turns visiting. We try to obey the rules so that I don't get yelled at! Aaron and Kortny came by on their way to the Davis game. Kortny sat with me during my dinner. It get's lonely eating by yourself all the time. She was great company. Then Julie and her sister came by to visit. So Andrew had a few good visits. Afterwards, we watched the Jazz game on slingbox. Finally we turned on a movie. It was a good day. There is a lot of talk about getting Andrew home by Thanksgiving. We will see. He does need to cooperate with the psychology department. He told one of their reps to "go away"! I think that means he's getting better. He is tired of answering "dumb" questions. They keep him moving around here. His progress continues to amaze!
