Happy New Year! I am looking forward to this year as I expect Steve to continue his progress get home!
We had our family Christmas this last weekend and enjoyed all our family in town, Becky and Alex and their kids, Josh and Diksha. Also, Tim and Flora and their kids Emma, Aidan, Finn and Evy. Yes, Steve got to come home again, thanks to this family manpower. They carried him across the threshold:) We enjoyed a late Christmas dinner and opened presents.
The next night, the process was repeated as Steve journeyed up to the family "cootie" party, where 67 gag and real presents were "won" by rolling dice and drawing cooties. There were were 13 adults and 12 teenagers/children whooping it up and strategizing to pick the presents that might hold something they actually want:) Steve made it the whole four hours and then returned to Rosedale.
There are improvements in Steve every week and his therapists see a rate of increasing return of strength and ability to do more and more. He has practiced on a transfer board a few times, even without the use of his hands. He bicycled full rotations for over a hundred revolutions several times. He can sit up erectly without support for up to a half hour. He uses the iPad a great deal for email, research and Netflix. He enjoys having new mail in his inbox:)
Please stay tuned....more victory to come!
Love
Nancy and Steve
