NOW FOR SOME GOOD NEWS! Today's work:

kinda laid back today, with the company and then I felt tired from getting ready for them, and didn't feel like doing any therapies till late afternoon, around 5, so we :

1. did the driveway practice walking, stopping at the 2nd car in the drive (rolled down windows on this side) and he walked backward, side stepped in both directions, knee bends, lifted heel backward (like up toward butt) and 2 toe stands (kinda).

2. English Immersion

3. EMS - completed 25 minutes of it.

4. When Bob lays down in bed, I usually do some laying down leg exercises with him, but he was so tired from not taking his nap today, that I skipped them, and just went for a few of his partial arm raises to keep his shoulder from freezing. He can't reach over head, it's more like straight up as I hold his wrist, and maybe just about halfway up is as far as he can go without wincing. I did a few of them, and thinking, do I feel his arm kicking in? Remember I had told you before that maybe I thought I felt it, or was it wishful thinking on my part, when we were doing sitting arm exercises. Well, about the 3rd lift, when I went to let his arm sink down, he was still holding it up! WOOOOOOOOOT! OH MY GOD! He is getting a little upper arm back! This is the first new thing in quite a time and we were both anguishing in the drought! Finally, something new to keep us looking forward

FORGOT #5! - 5. So, he's in bed now, and I've turned on the subliminal stroke recovery CD that I got in the mail today, that sounds like the ocean
