Our Journey To Recovery

Monday Oct. 15th

Christopher has had a very good day. During therapy today, much of his time was spent cutting and reapplying the cast to his left arm after it manipulating and straightening. It is a process that takes a few days in each cast to get the final results they are trying to achieve. The cast on his right lower leg and foot was removed and will be used each night as a splint. Christopher has tolerated this very well.

After all of this was completed, they took him to the gym where they got him back on the treadmill. He walked for about 15min while being suspended in the harness. He has really impressed several of the Rehab therapists. They didn't believe a PREP patient would be able to walk on the treadmill. This is an exercise usually for the more advanced Rehab patients. So they were a little surprised at his ability to manage the task without any difficulty.
