The past two days have been good for Brian. He's been doing well with his therapies. Brian made it to over 70 degrees in the standing frame, so he will try a new piece of robotic equipment on Friday!
We met with the Transportation Clinic today to look at handicapped accessible vans. We learned about dealers in the St. Louis area that could help us purchase a van. This will be something we explore prior to coming home.
We received a huge box of goodies for our family today from the friends at Cope Plastics, a customer of Brian's. Look at the neat shirts they created in honor of him! We are excited to wear our shirts tomorrow!
Our stay at Craig has been extended to July 18th. We are excited that Brian will have more time to wean on the diaphragm pacer and work on his therapies. It also means our kiddos need to get back out to Colorado sooner than later!
Brian's mom, brother, and sister arrive tomorrow. We are excited to see them. They will get to experience all the cool things Craig offers and meet the awesome people that work here.
Thank you for your prayers and positive vibes. They are working!
Brian and Julie, Have you recovered from all the noise yet???? Just kidding you guys. I know you had a wonderful time with the girls and I also know how hard it is to see them leave but they will get to come back soon. Sandy and Kristie will be in town next week so I will get my fair share of NOISE!! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteBrian, you are doing so good on your standing frame. The more your strength builds the better you'll get. You have excellent therapists and you are such a strong trooper. I can't wait to see what they have you doing on Friday. Stay strong. You've got this. You are my Champion!
It's so nice Brian's friends at Cope Plastics took time to send you guys a special box of goodies. I know this had to make Brian feel so good. Such a wonderful gesture of friendship.
Another gift is on it's way, when Brian gets to see his Mom and family. That should be a fun time too with lots of laughs. I hope you have a great visit.
You remain in our heart and prayers. We love you very much.
