Evening

Mark has done some walking with a cane but he can also walk with his therapists on either side for balance, with no cane or walker.

He's able to get in and out of bed and chairs very well. He can also put on his socks, shoes (tie them too) and shirt. Eating is certainly not a problem!

Even though he seems to see small items fine, like a drop of water on his tray table (which he will wipe up) and can read most letters and his cards, and the clock, he complains about his vision all the time. He is being scheduled to see an neuro ophthologist soon.

His short term memory is sometimes still challanged and he even has some long term memory issues, especially when he's tired.

I would post a picture tonight if I could figure out why it's not going through to my email, even though it was successfully sent from my phone. Maybe tomorrow.

Markus......you go boy. It is so good to see you up and about and to see the progress on this long journey. I know that this is really great for Chris to see as well as your folks.

Keep up the progress.....may be able to get out of here and head out to visit....need to work out details.

Take care.....many hugs and smiles to you and Chris.

Personally, I'd go with the therapists too, as opposed to walker and cane...
