Pushing

Josh is getting stronger each day, it is amazing to watch. He doesn't care to much for his new routine but I can see his improvement and it is exciting. Today he walked with some help from his room to the PT room! That is so great, he will be walking on his own in no time. He is busy from early morning until about 3:30, they won't even let visitors interrupt his schedule. So if you would like to stop in to say hi make sure it is not during the day time. He will have PT on Saturday for about half the day and then none on Sunday, so the weekend is better for visiting. He enjoys visits but he gets tired easy so don't be offended if he dozes off when your there, they have him working pretty hard. I think that pushing him at this point is helping him so much. He may not like it but it is so good for him. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow is when they will have there meeting about him to set a date for release, can't wait to see how that goes!

It is really hard not being there more for Josh like I have been all along. I miss him. It has been nice to spend a little time with my Mom before she heads back to SLC. I can go in more now but I don't want to get in the way at all. I would really like to see him doing some of his therapy. I know it is working because while I was there today he lifted his left arm up over his head, he couldn't do that 2 days ago. I want him home before Thanksgiving, so that is one of the things I am praying for now. I am grateful to the rehab here and all of the staff for taking such good care of my Josh. Loves, Denise
