We had a decent weekend. He is stuck with the parents, but we really are not all that bad. We at least have some interesting friends to help entertain him. We managed to eat out a couple of times over the weekend. Each time he gets a little braver and stronger and by Saturday night he went with his walker only!
He has not used his chair at home for the past two days either. If he is really active though, like on his rehab days, he gets fatigued and uses the chair at home. If he has to walk a long distance to get inside somewhere then he has to use the chair, once he is fatigued then he can not control his gait or maintain his strength to stand.
We can get him in and out of the house with just one of us assisting now :O) It is slow going and we have to have the walker and rails on the steps but we make it. He can not pull himself into the car but one good push and we are set to go.
His fine motor skills still have a long way to go. He is trying very hard to get those stronger but they are the most frustrating. He still has a lot of the numbness and tingling in his limbs and face also. The facial neuralgia has really been irritating to him the past week.
He misses his friends so much, keep remembering him in your thoughts, prayers, cards, calls, texts. He may not respond but he knows your with him.
