Another busy day today, with three full hours of therapy. Occupational therapy this morning was working on transfer from the wheelchair to the bed and to the tub bench, as well as chair push-ups (pushing out of the wheelchair using his arms), and leg raises. Physical therapy this afternoon was some exercises while lying on a mat and practicing going from sitting to standing with a walker. It turns out that he had been doing it wrong (since he hadn’t received any training), moving too quickly. Now it is a nice smooth procedure and a lot more stable!

It was also quite busy visitor-wise. Thanks to Jim, Jenne, Woody, Jake, Misti, Jeff, and Rusty for coming by for extended visits. I know that Dan was a little wiped out after his therapy but seeing all these friendly faces really helps keep his spirits up!
