Hello everyone. I know, I haven’t written in a while. I’m sorry about that but life happens, days go by, time flies….and things happen. Next thing you know you check Facebook and realize a week has come and gone. It’s not like it was when Cory was in the hospital and in the early stages of rehab. Then things happened on a regular basis. Every day we saw something he didn’t do the day before or something he does better than he did the day before. It was easy to see the progress. It’s now been 5 and half months since the accident and while progress is being made it’s harder to identify some of it. I think I mentioned previously that his long term memory is better, more organized, he’s more apt to tell us about something that happened and know that it was a few years ago instead of thinking it just happened now. That’s a good thing. His short term memory is still in the tank but I’m confident that will improve as well. From a physical perspective, he’s moving better, has more coordination and no longer uses the walker at all. His buddy Danny was here today. He had not seen Cory in weeks and he commented on how much improvement he notices in Cory compared to the last time he visited. It’s easier to recognize when you are away for a while as opposed to being here and living this ever day. But even so, it’s obvious we have improvement. And that’s a good thing. Tonight we got Cory to peddle the recumbent bike for a full ten minutes. It was slow and he complained like a little girl the entire time but he did it. After it was over Danny and I pointed out to him how he was able to do tonight what he could not do just a week ago. And Cory continued to complain like a little girl. We told him how even though it was painful he was able to complete full rotations of the bike pedals. He continued to complain like a little girl…..so I told him to stop complaining like a little girl and get over it. So he did. Tomorrow he gets to do it again….pedal that is, no more complaining like a little girl… And that’s a good thing!
