Bill stood again today with the help of only 2 therapist. He is really working hard ....the left hand and arm are coming along faster than the left leg and foot. Of course the hand only holds a ball or toothbrush but the leg and foot have to be weight bearing.

He was up in the wheelchair today for about 3 hours. He shaved with his electric razor. I washed his hair really good while he was up. I also cut his hair a little. I was getting so long on one side and the left side had been shaved so it looked odd. It may look more odd now that I cut it....I'm no barber mind you. I tried....he has not seen a mirror in awhile maybe his hair will be grown back before he sees it.

All of the doctors are very pleased with his progress. His stitches and staples got removed today.
Monday he will be moved into the Rehab unit of East Jefferson Hospital. I will get you a room number as soon as possible on Monday night.

Lots of company Thursday night.....Brian, Mike, Maw Maw and Shirley. None today unless it was after I left. In Rehab he will have to work for minimum 3 hours of therapy. We should see some real progress at that rate. He is still weak but in good spirit and working hard.
