Wendie,

Thanks for the update. It's great to hear that George continues to make improvements. Even the small ones add up and never end despite what some medical professionals say. :Clap-Hands: :Clap-Hands:

Donna,

hey Wendie:

Thanks for update on George, those small improvements does add up and mean world of difference, if George is willing to help out in kitchen let him help you and praise him, how much it helps in your workload, I know my selfesteem boosted when I was able to contribute in small things at home.

Dear Wendie--That is great about George's progress! The medical information I have read and heard from my dr. is that improvements and changes can occur 5 and maybe 10 years down the road. I just think its important to exercise to your potential. Doesn't have to be a lot, just do it. That's how I felt before my stroke and I still think that.

George sounds like he's motivated and so I think he will do well. Kudos!!! Good Luck. Take Care. LK

Good news Wendie.. I know they told me 18 months. The first year probably brought the most noticilble improvements.. learn to walk, control my arm etc. I am 4 yrs out.. my husband said my "walking .gait" has improved. I still get tired easier, but the fatigue is better than it was. I think it takes a lot of practice and repetation .... to get our brains to re learn. I think progress.. even small continues as long as we keep trying. sometimes it is small.. like fine tuning, but something we don't have to think about doing anymore.My motto: It IS ALWAYS TO EARLY TO GIVE UP
