M's strength, ability to do things, and walking continue to improve. Yesterday, he walked with his therapist outside, up and down curbs and ramps and stairs. Insight, impulse control, and emotiveness remain a challenge.
Please be in prayer for his cognitive and emotional qualities to be restored as his physical abilities return. For his safety, M must be under direct supervision round the clock. He can stand and walk on his own, but doesn't understand why he shouldn't. He'll swear he won't get up without calling me, then does as soon as I step out of the room. So I can't step out of the room, the potential consequences are too grave. If he should fall and suffer another head injury, he would have an even worse prognosis.
M has three more weeks scheduled of day therapy (4-5 hours of therapy) at the TIRR hospital. The next step's not yet been decided.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
Psalm 33 NIV
