Today we had a family meeting with all the staff that is helping Nick. We talked about his rehab progress and what he can expect when he is finished with rehab. His expected date to be coming home is October 4th. His recreational therapist has figured out Nick's love of trains and fishing. At some point they want to take him out to go fishing. They said that we could probably take him to temple square also. We discussed some of the items he will need when we get home.
He is still impressing everyone. Dad got to come and see Nick with how much he has improved. We are all so proud of Nick and his progression. They had Nick start doing weight lifting with his upper body to build more muscle strength. His second session of P.T. they was teaching how to to pop wheelies in his wheel chair. I asked them if that was safe. They chuckled at me. The purpose in this is so if his wheel chair tips backwards he would know how to prevent himself of tipping over. He was able to meet a couple of guys who have been in hand bike marathons and learn about there accidents. It has really been helpful for Nick to talk to them.
When he is all done we will have to learn how to jog to keep up with speedy Nick!!! He gets around in his wheel chair so well.
Today Matt and Lindsey Williams stop by to see Nick and also my cousin Shirley and Bill Johns. It is so great to have such great people in our lives to support us. Thank You everyone.
I am so impressed with your progress, Nick. It is so great to see how the family has been such a support to you. You are one special young man and I love you a lot.
