Hi, it's me Linda (Bob's other sister-outlaw) from Chino Hills. This is my first Blogg, so am so excited to be able to tell you what I've seen the past four days. Friday, my first real day being a support person, was wonderful, because I saw with my own eyes that Our Bob, is going to be just fine. And when I saw him at a PT group with three other people, play his first game on W II/ Bowling, and stand tall, shoulders back, trying to win.....I really knew.....YES........
But, today, Memorial Day, a day to remember.........At his first PT, he was given step by step instruction on sitting, getting up, getting up half way....balancing, shifting weight, moving his foot up and back then the other one......and then......he went for a walk with the Walker......more than 25 feet....back straight, shoulders up, and looking like he knew he could do this even better the next time. And he did. A couple hours later, with Jennie, Sharon and myself, he walked out of the Rehab room, with the walker, past the Cafeteria and down the hall.
He is tired, but very much pleased with himself. So, I just got back to my home, and am sending this along to all of you. He has started a new phase, you can see that "he knows" that his body will do all the things that need to happen to get back on track. Will be giving you updates as much as I can.....signing out, Team Bob
WOW !!! Sounds like our Bob has really taken off for the good. We are so glad to hear that he is up and moving on his own. I'm sure he will be glad to get home. Keep up the good work team.

What a gift this blog has been for all of us following Bob's progress! Thank you, thank you, thank you. It sounds as though all of the prayers and good wishes are doing their job, and that you're making miraculous progress, as promised! Our prayers for a smooth transition will follow you home on Thursday. Sue Moore and I are hoping to be able to come visit after you're settled in at home. We'll call in a couple of weeks to make sure that's oK. In the meantime, all of your friends at DBHS past and present send their best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. With love, Susan & Danny
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you today Linda! I happily await my slot(s) in the schedule. I'm not sure when that will begin, but I realized that I failed to tell you that I do have people coming into town on the 5th, 6th & 7th of June. But other than that I'm yours :)
