Don's therapy at Madonna in Lincoln is going well. The following is an update from Britney who made a visit over the weekend and is back this weekend as well.
This week don has been able to use a special treadmill that has the ability to take some weight off his legs so he can practice his walking. It is a very popular piece of equipment and so he is going to use it 1 hour 2 days this week. He is very close to walking on his own. It is amazing and exciting to think that will happen. Britney was able to spend some time in the gym with him on Saturday. He worked for 20 minutes on the step machine which is twice the time he normally spends. He also went back later in the day and did 15 minutes. He is really focused on making progress. They are using electric stimulation and exercise on his arm to help with muscle tone. They were able to spend some time on the computer. He was quick to let Britney know that they were reading old news on the news site. His speech is improving and more sounds are being added to his list to work on.
With one exception, Dad is younger by more than 20 years than the other patients but he is in good spirits.
Thanks to all for you words of encouragment and prayers.
