Lokomat

Bob had another good day. He had his three therapies and an extra group therapy today. In this group therapy he sat around a table in the dinning room of his floor with other patients.

During his physical therapy Bob used the lokomat - not locomat as I previously thought. The lokomat is a machine that suspends the patient while he walks on a treadmill. Here is a picture of it that I found online:

When asked by my mom if he liked using it he gave her an enthusiastic "yes". She also asked Bob if it hurts and he shook his head "no". Bob will use this machine again on friday morning and my mom is planning on going to the hospital early to see it in action. If we are lucky, we'll get some pictures.

One of Bob's daughters who lives in California came to visit with her daughter. Elizabeth and Emma came to the East Coast to drop off Kyle, the eldest son at his new school. They took advantage of being so close to Bob and swung north on their way back home. Elizabeth and Emma spent some time at the hospital and were able to see Bob in between his many therapy sessions. Bob enjoyed their visit and was happy to see them.

I was planning on going to see him after picking up my daughter from school, she was sad that she didn't get to go with me and my son on Monday. Unfortunately, due to a snow storm, I had to postpone the trip. It was hard to stay away, but I will try again tomorrow. That's all for today. Thanks for reading and keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.
