My how time flies when you are having fun!!! That's what this is isn't it?????
Over a month since I have posted and I'm not sure how that happened!!! Maybe having 5 kids home and using the computer and running around, and trying to get to therapy 5 times a week, and going to a variety of doctor appts for Greg, my mom, my kids, my dogs, cait's cat and wrapping presents, baking cookies, decorating the tree and whatever else we have been doing for the last month!!
Hopefully you all figured out that no news is good news!?!!?
Greg started his therapy at Drake and they are really great there - and they have been working him just as hard as they were at Christ (just not as much). He is expected to do more on his own and he has been. We try to get to the Sports Mall every day for some cardio work (although Christmas kinda got in the way), and he is continuing to get better every day.
He can do a lot with his arm now - he can lift it above his head, and bend his elbow and make a fist (no boxing yet!!), he just has a little trouble doing all of those things at once!! We know that will happen, and are being patient, taking every new movement as a great thing!!
Greg has been trying to do more and more by himself: he folds laundry - not always perfect and it can take him a really long time to fold a basket of clothes, but no one seems to mind how long it takes! He even did a little plumbing with a little help from his sons!!
We have been having lots of fun with Aksel (our Danish exchange student from a few years ago) here - it took him three days and a few flight changes to get here!! He spent Christmas in Charles de Galle and Boston airports which was a little sad - but we waited and had Christmas on the 26th!!
Hope everyone had a great holiday and has a wonderful 2011!!!
