Evening

(writ by hand by Dad) First full work day at rehab with some major accomplishments:
Got out of bed twice, sat up in a wheel chair for several hours. Went to the gym, getting out of the chair and sitting on a bench (with some help of course), picked the top cone off a stack several times and restacked them at another location, stood up (with some support) for a count of ten. Passed the swallow test such that he will get some apple sauce tomorrow (first food by mouth in more than seven weeks.) Is actively trying to communicate by mouthing the words, but we are all very poor lip readers. Now these may seem like minor accomplishments -- but try remaining motionless in bed for almost two months and see how much of an athlete you are!
