Bill is now getting therapy five times a week. Three times physical and twice occupational. I can see improvement in his legs. It took about six weeks to get the show on the road after we got here. During that time he lost strength in the legs. Now that he is getting professional help in that area it is showing.

He is still not back to walking on the walker with help. He is back to standing with the walker and help from the therapist.
He now has a exercise wheel chair pedal device that sits on the floor in front of the chair and he pedals with minimal help. The therapist said you use the same muscles to pedal as you do to walk.

So that is a huge step in the right direction. We are looking forward to attending one of our nieces wedding in December...I hope he can make up for lost time by then.

I fully expect to be dancing with Bill at that wedding.
