65%!!!!

I am so proud of my little man! I was all proud of his doing 25% of the work last session...but today, Terri dropped the guidance force down to 65%! so Drew was doing 35% of the work for the last 19 minutes of the session!

We have a week left. Terri is cool, and set a goal of 50% by the time Drew is done. So he will be doing 50% of the work, moving the legs, while she is adding more and more body weight too. Thank God she is pushing him! He is up to the challenge!!!!

DMC/Children's is amazing. We are so lucky to have found therapists there and at Crawl, Walk, Jump, Run that push our kids, and WANT to make a difference!

GO DREW! We are so proud of him. He truly ROXX!!!

Love to all, and GO WINGS!

We are coming up on our last week of Lokomat. :( June 5th is our last day...I have tried to bribe Terri, the PT to get us back in ASAP, but she is too honest.

There is now a long waiting list...and I am excited for everyone on it! We have seen Drew work so hard these past 7 weeks. He has gained better head control, gotten some increased muscle mass on his cute legs, and his trunk seems stronger. He can stand for longer (assisted) than he could before, and he seems to be trying to 'talk' more.

The guidance force (how much work the robotic legs do) is down to 75% for most of the session now! That means Boogie is doing 25% of the movement to make himself walk! And, he is supporting more of his body weight every few sessions. It must be a hell of a lot of work for him...but he comes thru like a champ! I dread the day I have to explain to him we can't go to Lokomat! :(

His Challenger baseball games start next Wednesday. Stay tuned for pics of our lil' sluggers on their new field!!!

The picture of Drew & his brotha-from-anotha-motha Brendan kills me...it was Brendan's idea to put the wig and glasses on Drew! I love how he includes him in everything. We are blessed to have such great cousins!!!!

Is it just me, or...

Do they re-use people on the Today Show Smucker's birthday montage? I swear I have seen some of those ppl more than once!!!!

Hope all is well for anyone reading this. We are great! Had a wonderful weekend and Mom's day with my boys. Drew continues to rock it at Lokomat! His legs are getting more muscular, which is great for the bones! He rocks. Our friend James has started too...I can't wait to hear about his progress; he is the hardest working kid I know.

Even tho more of you are coming to the darkside (FACEBOOK), I hope you keep checking my blog--Terri, this means you! tee hee!!! :)

Wishing everyone a great week!
