UpDaTe!

We've been getting lots of requests to update the blog! Let's see, what have we been up to ....

* We're still waiting to here from the insurance company about the house. PLEASE pray for patience! We are blessed to be home, but are excited for a new adventure.

* K is working out hard and really gaining muscle! Watch out Arnold! He is still doing therapy four days a week, including aqua therapy. He is now doing two hours of physical therapy and doing occupational things independently.

* K volunteered at the end of March at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. He was asked by a P.T student at Good Shepherd to come in for a lab that was about wheelchair evaluations. The students appreciated Kyle coming in and giving advice as a patient on how to properly order a wheelchair and therapy/life in general. He loves volunteering and hopes more opportunities arise. I teasingly call him the "lab rat".

* We are excited about the warmer weather! Even though we are fans of winter, we are ready to "play" outside.

*We met with the Neurosurgeon who did K's neck surgery. For Kyle, it was like meeting him for the first time, since he was so out of it in the hospital. We were surprised that him and his colleagues remembered us so well. Kyle's injury really stuck out to them. He was pleased that K's neck looks great and excited about his progress. It was interesting looking at the MRI from when he first got hurt. We never knew that the vertebrae that damaged his spinal cord was split in a perfect cross!

*B joined the gym to keep up with "the hulk", and is helping her mom sell her amazing art work and craft/art shows.

That's about all for now, but we will try to be better post-ers :)
