Steve continues to progress physically and his mental/emotional outlook is, most days, resllient and strong. His trust in God inspires me to keep on keeping on!
Latest achievements are more success in swinging his arm up on the wheelchair or bed and using the arm bicycle with hands strapped on. This is with no therapist holding him erect!
We held a surprise birthday party for Steve here at Rosedale. The activity staff was so thoughtful in setting up the room with fall decorations and tablecloths. He was so happy to see everyone who came. Thank you to so many others who sent cards....we enjoyed hearing from you:)
We had a wonderful visit from one of his nurses from Drake, where he was for 13 months. Erin had visited before and this time she brought us Panera dinner:)
She is one of the most compassionate nurses I have ever known.
Milwaukee friends Dave and Margo Hoffman were here for a couple of days and we had pizza outside in the courtyard. They are like family to us.
We also had a visit from Bob and Sue Pinney. Bob had a long ordeal with GBS also and now is recovered! They were such an encouragement as they recounted stages in Bob's recovery and Steve nodded in recognition and asked a few questions.
Our daughter Becky and granddaugher Diksha were here this past weekend. Becky hadn't seen him since August and was so excited to see the difference in him!
Please keep checking back, we'll try to post more as we live life watching and waiting.
