Home Therapy Continues

The good news is that I managed to get 20 more units of PT approved and so the therapist is coming again, twice weekly.

I don't know why, but it seems to be so much easier to get therapy ordered, approved and continuing than it was in the beginning... Is this because of a different doctor ordering it? Or because we have a great RN coming every 8 weeks to change out Bob's tube and she really keeps on top of things? Or because this therapist is more understanding of Bob's situation and does not expect HUGE leaps in "progress"?

Whatever it is. Knock on wood! And hope it continues this way.

Bob is standing much better, though he still refuses to take a step. And I'm not sure, is this because he is afraid? or unable? or a pain issue?......

Some well deserved playtime
with Ripley, after PT
Though he is up to 3 minutes, standing, with only a little assistance!

I know it really wears him out.

And after an hour session, he is pretty much done for the day....
