Week of June 18, 2007

They are working on getting a power wheelchair for Terry.
Ted (friend from church) came to look at van. He said it doesn't need to much work, and he would do it on June 30.
Terry went to the eye doctor. His vision has changed and he will be getting new glasses.
They are still waiting on the aqua therapy until a sore on Terry's should has healed completely.
Terry received a new brace for his arm. It bends a couple of fingers more (they seem to be lagging behind the others). Terry really is a challenge for his therapists, but they keep coming up with fresh ideas. On Friday, the therapist put Terry on a tilt table. They strapped Terry to the table and then stood him up. He was standing and bearing weight on his right leg. It was GREAT!! He was "standing" for about thirty minutes. It was great to be able to get off his bottom and just change his perspective for a while.
Terry go another shower on Saturday. It is getting easier every time he has one, and he enjoys it.
