A full day of therapy

How Awesome is this pic?!?! I KNOW!!!!!

Kevin and I had a really good day together. It was my day to come up and participate in all of Kevin's different therapy sessions. First we had some Occupational Therapy. She told me that Kevin is doing really good helping to get himself dressed in the morning. They are showing him how to use his stronger side to his advantage. She showed me more of the stretches and how to do them with Kevin on our own. He's getting so much movement back on his right side, its amazing. He can make a fist, grab something to hold on to and raise his arm to about a 45 degree angle by himself. After that we had Physical Therapy. His therapist told me he's doing really well with his transfers...that's moving from the chair to the mat or from the chair to the bed. No more harness at all. He's standing up and piviting to sit down on something else. Their going to try out the normal wheelchair again next week. We played with some bean bags again today. She put about 10 bean bags on the floor under where Kevin was sitting. She would ask him to bend down at the waist and pick up the color bean bag she asked for. He would pick it up with his right hand..this is the bad hand...raise himself back up, transfer the bean bag to his left hand and throw it to score a basket. He did it every single time!!! After that we went into the hallway where he stood up a few different times. We even posed for a pic :) He's totally supporting himself standing up. I was just there to guide him back into the chair to sit down. After OT and PT we had ST...dontcha love all the lingo... Speach Therapy. This is not Kevin's favorite because he gets aggravated when he messes up but he's actually doing really well. The therapist had him reading sentences and asking him to circle yes or no and the end of the sentence. For example.. Do you have to plug in a candle...then he circled NO. After that she played another word game with him where she would name off some companies and he would say what they made. Like GE makes appliances, Gillette makes razors, Hanes makes socks, and Campbell's makes soup. Those we're just some of the answers he gave. He was good at that game. Thats all the work on his end for the day. After all his therapies were over, I took him downstairs to get a smoothy and outside for a little bid. Its nice to get a change of scenery. I gave him a shower today all by myself. Man that was hard..lol He's lost a ton of weight but man is he solid. We got setteled into bed then Mom and Maya brought up some dinner and saved him from the Salsbury steak...yuck! Thanks Mom! It was a full day and I am tired! Lets see how long I get the bed to myself tonight before Maya comes sneaking in. I'm betting less than an hour. Goodnight all :)
