Late afternoon/last night for Daniel's physical therapy he got rid of his walker. On his therapy walks he has a person on each side holding his arms and supporting his back, which can be family not just a therapist. During his physical therapy today Daniel walked four steps up on stairs and four steps down, with support of two people and a hand rail. Later today he will try a full set of stairs. Also in physical therapy Daniel did hand eye coordination techniques. This tired out Daniel quickly, saying his head hurt. It was time for a nap. Things we take for granted. Daniel's diet was upgraded today to nector-thick/neurosoft. So for lunch he had a sloppy joe and he called it real food! Daniel is getting better with speech therapy, his voice is starting to develop. It is a little bit better than lip reading. During speech therapy an administrative nurse came into Daniel's room looking for his social security number and Daniel rattled it off to her. Wow!
Since Daniel's accident and now that he is in rehab he has lost 23lbs mostly in muscle mass.
What great news! And I agree, Sloppy Joes are real food! Sure beats jello squares!
