slowly coming along

Matt's been doing pretty well since my last post. He goes to therapy alone almost all the time now and the only update I get from him is that his appointment went fine. But then the last few times he has come home happy and tells me that he notices a difference. He even said that speech went well last week - and he never believes us when we tell him he is communicating better.

Today I went along to OT and I saw him move his wrist up slightly without any assistance. He still needs e-stim to be able to pull his wrist all the way back, but to see him move it at all on his own was pretty amazing. He is far from having much functional use in his arm, but each little improvement helps.

  1. Hey, Matt & Keri,
    I thought I would check to see if the 'comment' button was still working !!!! I know that there are more friends and family out there reading about Matt's progress. And keep up the good work.
    Love, mama

  2. Keri it was great to meet you, and Matt it is awesome to hear and read about your positive effort. I hope the rain hasn't kept you from mowing. That zero-turn buggy looks fun to drive. Take care and keep up the good work, Carl
