I feel like I'm telling you all the same things, but Matt's had a pretty good week. His pool session on Tuesday was great - he's working on strengthening his hamstrings and movements he needed help with 2 weeks ago he could do on his own. He's able to do more repetitions of everything, too, so he's gaining endurance along with strength.
His speech sessions continue to get better and better. Yesterday he did a naming test and had 82% of the pictures on the first try, often too fast for his therapist to keep up with flipping the pages. He's describing pictures in full sentences quite well and really working on the writing now. Spelling is super hard, but his handwriting is about the same as it used to be with his right hand!

ReplyDeleteSounds like good work and good progress - Keri, it is always good to read what you post, and it always sounds like new news to us who are far away! We thank you so much for taking time to write and keep us up to date.

Keri!! Cousin Amber from Louisiana here! I've been following for MONTHS and finally created an account on here so that I may comment! First of all....We are super impressed and proud of the accomplishments and strides Matt is taking in his recovery! We've prayed for him a lot and have even had our friends at church pray also! Secondly...WOW you are an inspiration to us all my dear! I cannot imagine the trials that you yourself have gone through and I commend you for your vigilance, determination and love! We have definitely been overwhelmed following the blog and cannot wait until the day we see him fully healed!
