We are into our final week here! I can’t believe it’s already been almost 3 weeks. It’s weird because on one hand I feel like we have been here forever yet I also can’t believe we are leaving in just 5 days. We definitely have found our groove here, and I am hoping to keep it going through these last few days.
K had an other amazing day of work. The two days off were definitely needed. He came back ready to work and did he work. His therapists commented multiple times today just how much stronger he was today vs. Friday. I knew he was fatigued last week but I didn’t realize how much so until I saw him today.
He seriously attacked today hard. He was standing tall, doing step ups and down, and side stepping like a boss. He is learning to control his whole body so much more. He is no longer relying on his arms to compensate for his weaker lower half. One big thing his PT commented on today was just how much more aware he is of his legs and being able to active the muscles in his legs consciously.
Overall it was just such a good day, I am nervous that he worked too hard. I know that is a weird thing to say, but we still do have 4 more days and I know his team won’t back down now. In fact they are going to push him harder than before because he is making such progress. We (his team, myself and my husband) have been so excited with his progress that we started discussing coming back for another three week session at some point. I think everyone agrees that this has been super beneficial for K’s development. Who knows when this might happen and I am sure K is not jumping to come back quite yet…stay turned.
Unexpectedly Blessed
