OK...so Mike came home from physical therapy today...and I asked how it went...he said that it went well...and that was it! So the day went on...we ate dinner...we drove to my softball game....he cheered me on...and we drove home...on the way home he said his back was sore...I said...what did you do in therapy? Thinking maybe his back pain was due to a certain
exercise...he said..."I crawled....by myself!" WHAT!!! I was shocked...all I could say was "oh my gosh!!!" The trainers told him that they'd be crawling today...so he got down on the floor and instead of waiting for a trainer to help him crawl...he just started going...he crawled the entire length of the mat...around15 feet...rested then crawled back! I was so excited when he told me....we were all excited ...and well...I think even Jocelyn....even though he won the race of crawling first! I couldn't believe he forgot to tell me! But I do think we can mark today as another great miracle...I just couldn't wait to share the news! Thank you everyone for all your support and prayers...it means more then you know!
These are some pictures from last Friday when I finally was able to go see him work out after three weeks...it was incredible! She's bracing his knees with her knees and stabilizing his hips...but he's keeping his balance....see how straight up and down he is...that is a huge improvement...according to Mike he used to arch his back...this standing up on the walker has all been within the last three weeks...I had to fight the urge not to just wrap my arms around him in a bear hug...but I'm afraid I would have knocked him over...I didn't ever want him to sit down ...It's not very often I get to look up at him....this is what we call a glimmer of hope!
Mike I'm so proud of you...
