Movement on the right side

Today Bob had a great physical therapy session, I just had to share some of the video footage my mom captured. I am unable to post long videos but this one captures Bob moving his right foot forward, backward and to the right side as he supports his body weight with his left foot. Later, Bob is able to support his weight on his right leg as he moves his left knee up and down. Unfortunately this part was cut out. I tried posting two videos but had no success, but I hope you enjoy the one I chose:

I think back to when we all celebrated the first time Bob stood up since the stroke. Today brought another cause for celebration. Bob continues to literally take steps towards his recovery.

My kids and I went to visit yesterday and I watched part of is occupational therapy and his speech therapy. I was pleased to see Bob's continued investment in his recovery. It has been almost three months since the stroke and Bob has not lost the drive to improve. He continues to apply himself to all the different kinds of therapies. His speech therapist told me yesterday that the fact that Bob recognizes a wrong word or sound as it comes out of his mouth, is a very good thing.

Bob is adjusting well to his new place. Our family is pleased with the level of care he has been receiving from the therapists. Unfortunately the assessment meeting will only take place on the 17th of April. It will be then that his team of care givers will set goals and determine his long term prospects at Kindred.

Tomorrow marks one week that Bob is at Kindred. He will celebrate with a special visit from old friends from Florida, Roger and Sally.

Thanks for reading and keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.
