Settling in at the Rehab center... and a shower!

Every day Miguel is growing stronger - today was no exception.  He started the day with speech therapy and then had a challenging (but rewarding) physical therapy session in the afternoon.  He has been successfully taking a few steps along the parallel bars, and even managed to walk down the hallway with a cane (and some assistance).  Following physical therapy, Migui was finally able to take his first real shower! What a nice treat.  He was very excited, and said he felt "like new" afterwards.

In the coming days, the physical and occupational therapists will begin working on Migui's left arm and hand.  He is now able to move the arm and hand slightly, though they still feel very weak.  He is looking forward to intensifying his therapies and feels motivated by the steady improvements he's had so far.

Thanks to Tia Emi for the wonderful cheesecake! Migui has been enjoying each bite!  Many thanks also to all who are continuing to follow his progress - your words and encouragement are of huge help.
