Yesterday and today Aaron had physical therapy at Hershey Med. Ctr.\u00a0 Gina took him yesterday, I took him today.\u00a0\u00a0 He was in the stander yesterday, had a little bit of difficulty keeping his blood pressure up;\u00a0but overall it was a good session.\u00a0\u00a0He did discover yesterday\u00a0that when he has a really strong muscle spasm, one that makes his hands stand up, he is able to move his index finger…..on both hands!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Awesome stuff!\u00a0 (Today, during a spasm, he was able to move his middle finger on one of his hands as well.\u00a0 Only saw that once, so we’ll keep looking for that!!)<\/p>\n
Today at physical therapy Aaron didn’t get to stand up in the stander;\u00a0\u00a0but that’s OK, because he experienced something very exciting and encouraging….he was lying on his back on a mat and the therapist was having him try to move different muscles in his legs and feet and he was able to move<\/strong> both of his feet outward toward the walls, then back in again<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 A couple of times!\u00a0\u00a0 The therapist was impressed;\u00a0 I (and his Aunt Deb who joined us today) was overwhelmed with excitement and emotion and even Aaron let go over some of his reservation and was excited!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Aaron is afraid to be overly optomistic, so to get him to say he’s excited ,or to show it, is a major undertaking.\u00a0\u00a0 But it happened today!)<\/p>\n Aaron continues to work hard on his therapy and\u00a0we are seeing the fruits of his efforts.\u00a0 \u00a0 These movements he’s been experiencing really fuel his desire to work even harder.\u00a0 Please continue to pray for him and stay tuned to the blog for further updates on his progress!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With our prayers and Aaron’s determination, great things have happened and will continue to do so!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday and today Aaron had physical therapy at Hershey Med.
