Here's the latest: Patti, in physical therapy, is now using a pole to walk with instead of a walker. This gives her better centering and balance as she works to strengthen her right leg and improve her walking motion. This is a good step forward and also is easier as she doesn't need Charlotte for support on a walker.
Speaking of Charlotte, Patti is working to generate more movement in her arm to qualify for a special splint that will send electrical impulses through her hand to stimulate even more movement and nerve regeneration. Pray that she gets there quickly as she is anxious to continue moving forward as fast as possible!
Her speech is still frustrating her, but she is working very hard to express complex thoughts and sentences. So she has jumped from just trying to say words to trying to put together normal speech and is working very hard at it.
Tonight we picked up a couple of puzzles for Patti to work and she has started playing Solitare using real cards. This helps her with patterns, numbers and visual acuity.
Prayer requests:
1. I have to travel to Florida with other family members to attend to a seriously ill brother. His name is Tom. Pray for Tom's recovery from pneumonia and kidney failure.
2. Pray for Patti and I as this will be a four day seperation we had not planned for. Strenth and patience.
Forever in Him,
Mike
