These last couple of weeks have gone fairly well. Gus is extremely relaxed...to the point of doing hardly anything we ask him to do and happily laughing in our face when we ask him to do it. He occasionally pushes on his arms and has no problem with standing.
On Thursday, at Ranken Jordan, his physical therapist put him in the lite gait trainer to have him walk again (he's been walking 40 feet each week). This past time, he continued to walk around the entire gym - 120 feet total. We were so excited. He was bringing up the correct leg at the right time and was almost too fast to keep up with (we were not prepared for how fast he went).
I talked to his doctor and it looks like we'll be dropping one of his medicines when we return from our trip out east. We are so excited to have less drugs.
As I write this, Gus sits on my lap watching the computer. He is easier and easier to entertain. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray that he forms the pathways in the brain to learn all of these things he needs to learn. Also, any prayers for our own sanity with a long car ride coming up (3 kids, 2 babies, and a dog) are coveted. Thanks.
We're visiting the Carons, and Angie asked about you, so I showed her your blog. I'm so excited to see this fantastic news!!! :)
