Home Health Resources discharged Dad today from their care. All of the therapists agree that Dad is ready to go to out-patient therapy. So, starting on Monday, we will be heading t
o Katy Rehab Hospital three times a week for both physical and occupational therapy. Both Wendy and Cathy worked Dad hard today; there was no slacking around on his last day of therapy with them! Wendy continued to work with Dad on his pulley and they started the day with 1 lb. of weight helping him raise that right arm. He was doing so well, Wendy decided to see if he could raise his right arm over his head with no help from the pulley, so she used Mom's little wooden cross and told Dad to keep his "eye on the prize" and try to take that cross out of her hand. In the first try, he raised his arm and claimed his prize! Wendy was thrilled, so we had to do it again to capture the Kodak moment!! Cathy came af
ter lunch and had Dad walk off his calories! He made 4 trips down the hall using the cane, and then she had him do his standing exercises at t
he sink, and then move to couch for his leg "kicks." He was pretty worn out after all of that, but not too tired to give Cathy a hug of thanks for helping him get moving again. We just can't say enough good things about Dad's therapy team and Home Health Resources. We will miss them and the loving care they provide ... and Brady will miss them too! Besides all of
the extra attention he received from them, their blood pressure cuff fascinated him! He would hear them squeezing the bulb to inflate the cuff, and he just knew that there was a ball or toy there somewhere for him to play with ... Poor Brady never quite figured it out!
