Day +81 continued – 8:24pm

Hi Everyone,

I talked to Mike this evening.  He had another big day in therapy.  He was able to get in and out of the simulated car without as many problems today.  He wasn’t able to do the stairs however, which made him a little frustrated since he did better on those the other day.  He also had a tough time trying to get in and out of the bathtub.  These are all things that the therapists have him working on as well as machines to build strength, riding the exercise bike and walking.

He is still using a special mattress on his bed (air type) be cause of his sores on his bottom.  It helps to relieve any extra pressure.  The problem with that is is that he can’t get in and out of bed without a lift and helpers.  I reassured him that with time he heal and then he’ll be able to do more by himself.  The doc thinks he is doing good.

He sounded pretty good.  Asked about Mom and I told him she is doing great – which is the total truth!! 

I am really proud of both of them and their progress so far.  They are both working hard to get back their strength so they can get out of rehab.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. 

love, Ann
