Rehab Day Seven...

It's Friday, a full week here in rehab. Our OT has been working hard on Kevin's right arm. There is strength and movement in the shoulder and A little in the bicep with tiny showing in the tricep. He gave it all he had and we saw a tiny twinge of movement in his right thumb. It all comes back through the shoulder so it is exciting. The PT wants his steps to be slower and more perfect and he is doing great on that. Alex gave him very little support on one side he used a side walker on the left/strong side. He can get a little discouraged after speech therapy but it doesn't last. Instead of a walk outdoors he wanted to stay in our room and practice speech activities from the therapists. Also I'm practicing his verbalizing with Rosetta Stone on the iPad, reading and singing. It's essential that we use what energy he has to fire up those neurons and challenge his brain to make new connections. He is seeing/feeling progress in himself and the rest of us our seeing milestones.❤️Reading scriptures together, singing hymns and reading the ensign together has become even more of a sweetened spiritual experience now. I feel deeply grateful for the divine strength we feel that allows to do those things we couldn't do on our own. Thank you for your many prayers in our behalf. LOVE, Cindy
