Bruce is improving. He stands up five times in a row, four sets, so twenty times at PT. in pool time he stands up, walks and pushing off the wall with one leg at a time and stretching. They have him standing up using a walker and standing up using a transfer pole. We have a pole for the house, won't set it up until they train us at home how to help him.
Dan and Heidie came for a visit. Heidie helped rearrange the furniture. The living room is more open, I love it. They helped us with several projects around the house. I love hearing 'grandma' from a squeaky little voice. What joy!
We are going to order a tall love seat for Bruce so he can slide board evenly, not uphill and that will get him out of the wheelchair. He is looking forward to that.
We purchased a clap lamp for the bedroom. Bruce reads in bed now and can claps to turn the light off. His finger tips are numb and he can't feel the light switch to turn the lamp off so he claps to turn the light off and I don't have to take my grumpy self in there to see what he needs.He says it is another step to independence.

Good to hear from you again. It's really hard to keep up the writing in the summer isn't it? and glad that Bruce is continuing to improve. Been a long two years, huh? Thank heaven for grandkids dropping in to visit.
