Week of February 18, 2008

This has been a good week! Terry is practicing standing at home, and since we couldn't get help a couple of days, we're doing it ourselves! It's good to not have to try to fit in someone else's schedule. At therapy, James has begun having Terry work at walking with the walker. Tuesday was the only time this week, but Terry took 4-5 steps during each of three attempts. He's doing
FANTASTIC!!! We also saw the orthopedic surgeon this week, and he MARVELLED at Terry's progress! He just grins with glee upon hearing of Terry's achievements. It's SO encouraging for us! While there, we made an appointment with the hand specialist. We hope the EXTRA bone growth is ready to be taken care of. That will mean another surgery, but Terry is wanting more use with that hand. We'll see him in March. On Friday, we had Julie for therapy again (James was out). She was also impressed with the gains Terry has made since she last treated him. It's been a GOOD week!
