Outpatient therapy

Matt started in outpatient today - it's such a different experience from inpatient, but it's definitely a good step. We only met with his new physical therapist, who I think is going to work really well. She told us that it's impossible to know how much of his arm movement will come back so she's just going to shoot for 100%. Perfect. He'll be meeting with her 3 times a week for now. He has to wait until next week to meet with an OT and we're waiting to hear back from a speech therapist, but he's going to be pretty busy once those are scheduled.

I took Matt out for a drive around the farm yesterday and he is so happy to be here. It's lucky that we have a giant cement pad around our house - the grass is too uneven for him to feel comfortable walking around, so he likes to make loops around the house. I wish that he could have helped plant trees today, but he'll get there. He's made so much progress in 5 months!
