Looking Up. We worked the knot out of my left shoulder and focused on working the shoulder's and back. I had a little trouble with dizziness, but only a couple of times. We also worked on rolling and I was able to roll to the right 6 times completely on my own. I stood for 45 minutes with no issues and was able to control my hips. The index finger and thumb on the right hand are starting to stay stretched out on their own. The sore is almost healed. Thank you, for the on going support.

Keeping on. We worked the back and shoulder's this week. For the first time, I was able to lie on my stomach and was able to walk my elbows in, until I was in the prone position. I did this with no assistance and did several reps. I also stood for an hour, with no dizziness and was able to control my hip's very well. The sore is getting better by the day. Thanks for the continued support.

Getting there. This week we worked the triceps, back, rolling and standing. I did pretty well, with all of it. I was able to roll from my back to my side with no assistance, still a work in progress. I stood for a half hour, it was all we had time for. I did well with it, but my hips didn't want to work with me. Thanks for your support.

Paying off. This week was probably the best week, I've had at therapy. I was able to roll from my back to my side 10 times and on the the tenth time, I rolled onto my stomach and was able to prop myself up on my elbows. All with no assistance. Now for the BIG NEWS!! We worked on me taking my FIRST STEP!! Felt great. I could not, have done it with out all of your continued support. Thank You for believing in me. Thank You to my caregivers Laura Zavala Stone Adeline Jane Choate Cynthia Torrey-Kinne for the great care you do and for putting up with me.
Thank You Level Eleven Physical Therapy, for the great work you do.

Been better. This week, we worked a lot on shoulders and a little on my core. We upped the weight a little on a couple exercises and I was able to sit on the side of the mat table and play catch with a bigger ball, with little assistance. I have been struggling with the cool damp weather and lack of sleep. Which has me feeling weak and out of it. Next week, is a different week. Thanks for the support.

Moving along. This week went very well. We worked on shoulder's, core, back, sitting balance and standing. I was able to do the shoulder exercise's, with the increased weight from last week. My sitting balance is improving greatly and I'm able to do it with weights on my arms now. I stood twice this week, for an hour each time. I did very well, minus the fact that my hips were all over the place. I also was able to zip my hoodie, by myself this morning. We also worked on ways for me to be able to self cath. I'm very grateful, for your continued support. Thank You.

Great news!

Keeping On. This week had it's up's and downs. Therapy went very well. We worked the shoulder's, core and standing. We also worked on sitting balance. I showed improvement on the exercises and stood for an hour, with me being able to control my hips. I had a rough time earlier this week. The sore was starting to get the best of me, after reopening last weekend. But an hour sitting by water and I was able to clear my head and have a different look on things. Laura Zavala Stone did some research and found a home remedy and it seems to be working, the sore is looking pretty good. Thanks to all my caregivers, for taking great care of me. Thank you everybody for your support.

Still Going. We worked my shoulders, core, back and triceps.
I was able to wheel myself across the parking lot at therapy and across the parking lot at Wal-Mart and all around the store, all with no gloves on my hands. We also talked more about self cathing. Thanks for your on going support.

Hard Times. This week has been a very hard struggle for me. I have had everything going for me, blow up in my face and bring me to a very dark place. For the first time in my life, I didn't care about anything. I didn't go to therapy all week and really didn't care if I ever went back. I did force myself to go to therapy today, I honestly couldn't tell you what made me go. Was it to byTch to a different ear or hear a different voice, no idea. Thank you, to my parents, caregivers and therapist's for staying so positive and optimistic.

Still Going. Last week, I was in the hospital for a UTI. They have moved me to Medi Lodge of Grand Blanc. Yes, its a nursing home, but a nice one and so far the care has been great. I did have some acid reflex yesterday, first time since I was at U of M, damn orange juice, we think it was from the antibiotic I'm on. The sore is looking really good, with some med changes, an air mattress and diet. It is healing pretty fast now. I'm also able to receive more OT. One hour a day 5 days a week. I'm truly grateful, for all the amazing family and friends I have. Thank You, for all of your support.

Still digging. We worked my left and right wrist and fingers. Also did a little core work. My hands have been very tight due to the rain, this week. I also wheeled myself up and down the hall a little bit. Slowly building myself back up. Thanks for the support.
