Day 19

Day 19: Friday

TGIF! Roger is doing wonderful today! He was awake and eating breakfast this morning when I arrived and was ready to get dressed and get up for his 8am therapy session. With very very little assist he is now dressing himself. It is quite the life change to get used to!

Boy is this a change from even a week ago. Yesterday Roger sat up in his wheelchair all day and when I asked him last night if he wanted to get into bed he was resisting me. Last week he could only tolerate 5 minutes sitting in the wheelchair. The progress he makes everyday is amazing. There is still so much to learn and so much each day ahead will bring to him but he is coping well. He is starting to get on the computer and read and SMILE which are things he hasn't wanted to do in the last 2 weeks. It is very cool to see!

I am his therapist this weekend so it will be fun to work with him and see him progress more throughout the weekend. I thank God that I am able to be here and be with him during this time. Seeing a smile on his face is worth every minute I am here! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers! He couldn't do it without it! Much love coming from Reno!
