Got to the hospital early today. I could not believe my eyes. Bill walked the bars three times and turned around to walk back. I don't want to mislead you...it's not pretty.
The physical therapist BETH is really working hard too. She holds him by the seat of his pants...(Bill calls her the WEDGIE QUEEN) ....he places his right hand on one railing. He moves his right leg and foot.....Beth moves his left foot and leg. I know it must be very difficult for both but it looks much better than the first time I saw him on the bars with the aid of 4 therapist.

Also, before the stroke Bill could not bake chocolate chip cookies...but he can now I saw him do it today in Occupational therapy. That also, is tongue in cheek but he did his part in a group activity and he interacts with his piers very well.
Now everyone in the group knows how much he does not like onion. So needless to say that's why he made the cookie dough instead of the meatballs.

He is working hard but he is enjoying it more. Good Day today.

Good news.

Bake some cookies for me Bill. Poor Beth,the WEDGIE QUEEN??? I guess that means she knows what she's doing because from the blog report, Bill is working hard and doing GREAT.

Small steps Bill. Slowly but surely.

GO BILL, GO!!!
