Dave did great in OT and PT today, he can stand up and touch the ground (thanks to the Wii) and then he played around with the football and in PT he did 4 laps around the track with his canes.



In between we had an appointment with orthopedic and got some really great news, Dave's bones are really filling in now and next month we will be able to get a plan for the halo to come off. It may only be on 6 more months compared to the year we had planned for!

EOD PRAYER

Lord of power and might,
whose mercy is everlasting,
guard and guide those who
place their lives in the balance
to ensure the safety of those nearby.

Look with favor upon those with
the prowess and skill to disarm
explosive devices, render them safe,
and remove from others the threat of harm.

Bless those who have been set apart
by this hazardous duty, and give support to
their families and loved ones
who wait through each tense call.

Receive into eternal rest those
who have given their lives
and bring healing to those who mourn.
Grant that in the EOD Family
there may be unity of spirit
for the well being of all.
To your glory with grateful hearts
we thank you loving God.

Amen,

Rev Carl Bergstrom
Past National Chaplain, DAV

Occupational Therapy

Dave has been doing great in PT and OT, these pictures show how he can stand on his own for a few minutes and move his body around. This is difficult because his balance is off, but he is working hard. He has also been playing Wii Fit in OT to get balance back. If anyone wants to know what to get him for Christmas.......




Dave walked with crutches yesterday, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. He did a lap around on his walker then on crutches.

Well no ball for us.....yesterday I had to call an ambulance to come pick Dave up and take him to the ER. He is going thru withdrawals due to a med change. Today is a little better, but I don't think we will be doing much this weekend....
