Today for one of Nicks therapies they took him to Emmigration Canyon and their is a pond up there and let him go fishing. It was really funny because his 2 therapist that was with us said the fish looked really big. They put fish in this pond, but they aren't very big in comparison to what he usually gets when he goes fishing with his Grandpa. Nick and I got a real good laugh out of it. Atleast Nick had a lot of fun doing it.
We also worked alot on curbs. Getting up on them and down them. I think I only had about 4 heart attacks during the process. He has to do wheelies and move himself up or down. One time one of his wheels went off of the curb before the other and he started tipping to one side. Scarry for me, he was all in control. I guess it's just called being a mom.
In O.T. he was lifting weights and a guy saw him and came over and visited with him for a while. This guy was injured about 7 years ago and is living the life that Nick will be living. It was very interesting to listen to some of the things that work for him and what doesn't. I am sure it is different for every individual.
We had to say goodbye to our regular P.T. today. She is leaving for vacation. That was not fun. You get really close to these people that you work with several times a day. There is a certain trust you gain in them. It is amazing. We love you Jenny
