After two solid weeks in rehab, Nick is making slow but steady progress. (Remember the tortoise analogy?) For instance…
- They have Nick standing and walking every day now, using the bars or a walker. They continue to work on building up his stamina.
- He’s able to sustain himself with food now, so they’ll be taking his feeding tube out soon.
- His dexterity is increasing, as he can now put his clothes on, but can’t do buttons or zippers yet. His arms are steadier and he can also move his thumbs much better.
- His speech progress is slow but steady.
The doctors are encouraged and Nick’s spirit continues to be strong and resilient.
By the way, they were able to get a van that accommodates a wheelchair before he went back into the hospital. They took him to go see the Transformers movie and he loved it! It’ll come in handy when they’re able to temporarily take him out or home for the weekend.
Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers!
