THANK YOU THANK YOU to our friends and family who have provided Will with financial gifts to go towards his medical expenses. We are so very grateful. His doctor has recommended massage therapy and this is not covered under our insurance. This weekend - your gifts helped pay towards his first massage appointment. "Pink" (love her already) is a talented massage therapist who has worked with children with similar situations as Will. She came to our home on Sunday and Will TOTALLY ENJOYED a 45 minute massage. Not only will this help with his tired upper body (wheelchair pushing muscles) but also to stimulate his leg muscles which will activite and engage the neuro pathways. Hopefully some of those damaged pathways will begin to repair.
Today we limited Will's use of his wheelchair. He used it at school and to attend his therapy sessions at the hospital - but within the home he had to use his walker. He did great! He never complains, just keeps on going. This of course takes more of mom and dad's time because we have to "spot" Will when he uses his walker - but with only 17 days until Christmas - Will is determined to take some solid steps on his own.
Stay tuned for video of Will walking up the stairs at home - with no help :))
