PT

First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you who regularly check our blog. I am so sorry that I haven't updated the blog lately. I have been overwhelmed with so many things at home, that when I do get a chance to write something all I want to do is crash. I will do my best to update some new pictures of Olivia soon, but I thought I would let everyone know how Chris' PT is going.

Chris had his second PT appointment yesterday, and it appears everything went good for him. In his words, they really worked him hard. I guess the PT person said they were nice to him on the first day, but now it is time to get to work! =) Chris rode the bike for about 10 minutes and they also did some stretches checking his range of motion. Based on what the therapist saw yesterday, she said she would like Chris to start coming on Fridays too. So now he has PT on M-W-F. We're working on remembering to do the stretches at home (I say "we" because I have to be the bad guy who reminds him to do the stretches after he's had a stressful day at work) which will help the road to recovery.

On the good news side, Chris is now using only one crutch. We borrowed some canes from my dad, but he's not quite ready to use those yet. Periodically, he will walk short distances without any assistance. He's doing great at getting himself ready totally on his own, and he pushes himself (within reason) a little everyday. He thought he may be able to drive now, but he's not there yet. When he sits in the drivers seat, his foot touches the accelerator when it's relaxed. He has a difficult time getting to the brake. So for now, Amy's taxi service is still running.

Well that pretty much brings you up to speed on PT. Liv is doing great and I will post new pictures and an update about her soon.
