Company
Kyle and I had a surprise visitor last night, arranged by Alex! He brightened up the afternoon, brought out some conversation in Kyle, and was some nice relief for Alex and me. And we added in some Mellow Mushroom fun! The day all around was a good one. :)
We weren't quite sure how Kyle would react to Hollis, since in the past, he has told us he does not want any visitors, he does not want to snap chat, and if fact, he does not want his phone at all. But judging by his expression I think all went well (only a few minor outbursts).
Thanks for coming, Hollis!
A Few Days' Therapies
I have lots of photos from over the past two days, and since Kyle has become more vocal and seemingly more ambitious and determined , Alex and I have both turned to taking videos to document some of his progress. I will try to get the videos posted tomorrow. But for now, here are some of the latest therapy shots. |
| Even after struggling in pain to stand........ |
 |
| ...... Kyle, Melanie, and Jo can still find some laughter. |
More leg presses.
More sit and stand, sit and stand, and good posture in front of the mirror.
 |
| Whoa! .....not quite able to balance on his own yet. |
Introducing a one-handed walker for standing support.
A new standing machine.
A new leg machine. Kyle's not ready to pump with his arms yet though.
Measuring for a new upright wheelchair! This will allow Kyle to propel himself with his own legs and feet!

Jasmine asks Kyle to give her five more sit ups. Kyle surprised us when he said no. The use of bribery always works ;)
|
 |
| More innovative ways to work that slow to recover deltoid. |
Chillaxin!
After all that hard work, Kyle makes himself comfortable and pulls up a stool!
Hang In There Kyle
And last but not least, such an awesome, unexpected, sincere and compassionate sentiment and tribute to Kyle from Troop 911 in the Bahamas. Thanks guys! Kyle's eyes lit up when he saw this. He hopes he can make it next year!
