Progress!

Bob at the Parallel Bars

That's the good news here at The Pink House this week. Bob passed his first evaluation at Outpatient Rehab for Physical and Occupational Therapy. The evaluator was pleased with Bob's progress and another month of therapy sessions is being scheduled.

Bob was able to walk three times at the parallel bars on Friday with the evaluator, which is a big leap from the original three or four shaky steps, though as you can see on this picture, he is still leaning too far to the left and still requires two therapists to hold him up.

Bob at the Standing Machine

Bob also managed to handle 8 minutes in the standing machine. And he was able to hold his head up for the count of five.

I am pleased with these new therapists, especially Peter, who is one upbeat and positive thinking PT.  Peter told Bob that the goal is to be able to "walk over to that standing machine and stick your tongue out at it!"

I love it, and fingers crossed, he'll keep progressing.
