Brian has made some giant steps today. He moved from the third floor to the fifth floor, room 567, which is on the spinal cord injury floor. He has a new roommate who is the same age and had a similar injury to his. He got his mouse hooked up to his computer which we will still have to learn how to use. He also got his wheelchair which he can move with his head. The people on the floor were surprised at how quickly he has mastered making it move. We are not surprised since we know Brian always tries to be the best at all he does. Brian and Colin are already saying that when he finishes at Magee, he will be able to move more than Colin because the therapists are stretching his limbs for range of motion exercises and he will be more limber than Colin. We asked if he had any more recent twinges because we hadn’t heard him say anything since going to Magee. He said he has had some in his legs. These are all steps for Brian, some bigger than others. As you pray for him, remember these steps and realize that you are seeing your prayers and ours in action. Have a great day.
Love,
Dawn
