Graduation Day!

B has graduated from therapy!!!! His last day was December 23. It was such a big day that our whole family went to witness his miraculous advances. We're so proud of him and all the work that he has done! He's gone from not being able to walk, or even stand on his own, to balancing on an exercise ball and "kicking up his heels"! Thanks to all of his therapists and Dr. Spetzler! He really was blessed to have the best ever! You're amazing, B!!!! Great work!

I felt bad for the poor patient that was pitching to him!


In order to make things more challenging for B, the balance aparatis was turned upside down!
(Sorry about the sideways video! :0)

This was a regular exercise to help his eyes. He started only being able to get one image when the bead was about 3 inches from his face. His last day, it was all the way at the other end at the knot!!! This required tremendous concentration!


This was one of the favorite things to do with his Occupational Therapist, Joe.






Stephanie also graduated out of her wheelchair!!!






Measuring the strength of his grip on his left hand--giving it all he's got!


A little "haki-sack" for therapy.


Marty, his other Occupational Therapist that was training Joe.


Yes, you are seeing correctly. A challenge was issued, and he stood on a yoga/exercise ball! (Thanks for taking the pictures/video, K!)








You're inspirational, B!!!!
