Sean is continuing to eat better and put on weight. He fights through his therapy sessions and progress is very slow but steady. I was able to watch a little of his physical therapy session this weekend and viewed some film footage of another session. With the help of his therapists, Sean uses parallel bars to pull himself to his feet. Taking a step is a difficult task for Sean to undertake and he needs the therapists help to put weight on one foot in order to stride with the other. The effort is definitely there and hopefully with some more work Sean can keep progressing towards moving on his own.
Sean continues to communicate with hand signals and charts, but is still struggling with speaking. Again, hopefully his hard work with the speech therapists will pay off some time in the near future.
Sean thanks everyone for their cards and gifts and cake and balloons (well actually Shea and Haley thank you for those) that he received on his birthday last week. A special thanks to Ann Lorenzo for the somewhat disturbing drawing of Jack Bauer (from “24”)…..I think its Sean’s fave gift.
More to come,
Steve
