NMES

   NMES - neuro muscular electrical stimulation (say that fast three times) Bruce had that attached to his quadricep muscles on both legs. It makes the muscles fire to help him stand up. When it is finished the muscles vibrate for an hour. If he continues to show good results we can get one to use at home. Sounds like an evil torture machine to me... It helps the brain and the muscle connect. 
  He was standing and using the parallel bars. He was on the inside of the bars it is really hard. It is a new way of standing up and his muscles have to get stronger. 
  Debbie and Rosala are still bring meals to us once a week. Thank you! We love it. We had chicken breasts and baby tators in soy sauce, corn on the cob (Muileburg) a wonderful fruit salad and two different kinds of cookies, chocolate chip and a brownie.
  I look forward to your love each week.
   We ordered hearing aides for Bruce. They will be here in two weeks. No mor loud TV.
On Saturday we went to a wedding reception and the theme was from the movie 'Up'. It was delightful. Loved the colorful cupcakes and rainbow netting.
   Got a call from the wheelchair people. The manual wheelchair will be here on Wednesday! Hurrah!
