Week of December 31, 2007

We started land therapy exclusively this week. Terry's hit a plateau in the
water and needs the strengthening that land therapy will provide. One of the
major things they will be working on is balance. In order to really walk,
Terry will have to find his balance WITHOUT holding on. That was a tough one.
Wed. was the first time he tried, and it was frightening! He'll get better with
time and practice. We saw the neurosurgeon this week. He was very pleased
with Terry's progress, and AMAZED that he's taking steps. The doctor doesn't
need to see Terry for a year, now. The rest of the week was fairly routine, but
Terry is making progress in therapy. He has strength we weren't aware of, and
we'll build on that. I woke on Sun. feeling under the weather, so we didn't
get to church. Before 1:00, we had received three phone calls with people
from church checking on us. It's GREAT to be cared for by so many. God is GOOD!!
