Hi everyone! The last couple of days have been very productive. Mark is moving along in therapy and we are amazed at the improvement each day.
On Thursday, he was standing in PT and managed to get himself up with hardly any aid and without a walker. On Friday, he did the same, but added a little "dance" move when the CD player blared out "Shout". His OT was happy that he put his hands up to shout.
Friday saw Mark off on a golf outing. He went to the driving range again and did very well with the help of some adaptive lessons from the pro. He was also shown how to putt from the wheelchair. Then it was off to Taco Bell for some fast lunch before coming back to the hospital with the rec therapist. He was able to squeeze in a couple of short naps so that he would be ready for the Brooks and Dunn concert on Friday night. For those of you who are not country music fans, Brooks and Dunn are country music! The included photo is of Mark at the concert. A group of us went and we had a great time, despite the rainy weather at the beginning of the evening.
Today we had lunch out after pool therapy and were joined by one of the rec therapists, as well as JT and Chris, Mark's roommate and his mom. We were all amazed when Mark finished an enormous taco salad at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

I was at Brooks and Dunn also!! I had the lawn seats. We were covered in mud up to our knees! I'm sorry I didn't know you were there. We could've met up and "tailgated"! I plan on visiting soon while my girls are away on vacation. See you soon.
Love,
Cousin Alison
Love the OSU hat!!
Go Bucks! Did that hat get any comments in Florida? Wear it proudly! Glad to here you continue to battle the machines and are making progress. We traveled to Tennessee last weekend to visit with my sons soon to be in-laws. All went well and we had a great time. Take care of yourself! Pustinator
