Brian had another great day! Very thankful for that...started out with PT. He went down to the gym for the first time and his therapist did range of motion stretching with Brian. He loved the change of scenery. After PT, Brian worked with OT for 2 hours. They continued to modify the wheelchair. That is quite a process. OT gave Brian a sip and puff straw that he uses to raise and lower his chair for position changes. He will also use the straw to navigate the wheelchair independently. We met with the Recreation Therapist so she could get an idea of what outings/activities might be appealing to Brian. Craig wants their patients integrated into the community, so when he's given the stamp of approval by his docs, Brian will be able to participate. It's been a rough week for the girls and us. I think it's sinking in for everyone how long we will be gone. Pray for our strength to get through this journey. Brian and I are nervous about the future, but we are trying to take things one day at a time. Sometimes that's very hard to do...so many unknowns, but we trust that God has a plan for Brian. Thank you for your love and support. I read the comments to Brian nightly and he loves hearing from you all!
Another great day! It sounds like Craig is a wonderful facility for you guys. I'm sure your personality is starting to shine with all of them there, Brian! Just don't get yourself in trouble:). I love hearing these good reports. Keep them coming. Stay strong, Warriors!
