We have had another busy day with therapies. Nick had a lot of fun with a couple different therapies. In his recreational therapy they took a fishing pole outside, tide a screw to the end of it and practiced casting the fishing pole. He got so good that the line and screw went over the fence and caught onto a bush. They want to try to take Nick up Emigration Canyon and take him fishing. He would love that. He wishes he had his fishing buddy with him for that, Grandpa.
In one of his p.t. sessions today we worked on balance. That is a real big issue right now. Oh how we take so many things for granted. He had to toss a ball back and forth to me, then they added in a stick. I would throw the ball to him and he would have to his it with the stick and still regain balance. Harder than what it sounds. Take all the muscles out of your abdomin and middle of your back down and just try to sit. That is where Nick is.
They always have to find things to challenge him with because he is so determined. When they ask him if he is ready to stop an activity he always tells them "a couple more times please".
They are removing his catheter tonight because he has developed a urinary track infection. Thank goodness he doesn't feel anything. I was able to alert the Drs about it because of the color of his urine.
I am learning so much. I have decided I should recieve my nursing degree just from experience. HAHAHA
I am so glad that they make the therpys fun for Nick. He will give them all a run for their money so to say. I am so glad Donna is able to be with you and I know she doesn't want to be anyplace besides with her son. She is an awsome Mom. Nick I love you and hope to be able to come and see you again some time. Keep up the good work and have a good time on the Temple grounds.
