"We can do all things,
through Christ who gives us strength"
-Phillipians 4:13
Physical Therapy has been strengthening not only Jimmy's muscles, but his confidence and ambition to walk again. He has been working with PT on standing, while reaching for objects, balancing sitting straight up while playing Connect Four and using the standing walkers to take many steps. His leg strength has increased incredibly the past few weeks and Jimmy has walk over 90 feet in the walker with two therapist helping. Yesterday, Jimmy, Tom and Jeremey walked around the family room at Courage, holding Jimmy up on both sides. It’s incredible to be a witness Jimmy's happiness around his buddies and he would love for you to visit anytime.
Occupational Therapy is coming along as well. Jimmy is able to dress his upper body on his own and complete some AM routines tasks. We are still working towards strengthening fine motor skills; Jimmy is able to write his name and really enjoys his iPad games. Jim is able to pick up and talk on phone and is very smart when it comes to math facts and spelling. Many nights we have cranked up the Beach Boys and danced in his room and our new goal each night is timing how long Jim can stand on his own with me balancing him, as of last night he is up to almost 10 mins!
We cannot thank God enough for the amazing blessings he has given us and the outstanding support team everyone has been for Jimmy! May God bless you this week and fill free to visit Jimmy any time :)
