Day 5 - It's Saturday!

Saturday doesn't mean a day off for Donovan.  Breakfast at 7:30, OT at 8am, PT starting at 9am with back to back sessions until 11:30, then lunch and his final session at 1:30.  It looks like a beautiful day here so we will get a "pass" to get out for a while!  Bridget has something planned (she told me and I forgot), so should be a good day.  Carl is busy with a birthday party and sleepover, Emma spent the night with friend, and Buster is getting his paperwork done so he can visit Donovan in his room.


A little toon-time before the days work!



All is going well! He continues to make progress everyday and the therapists are very pleased with his effort and attitude.  He is working through taking his medication, one of which tastes awful (smells awful too) but we continue to experiment to find ways to mask the taste.  His metabolism is kicking in and every night at bed time we get chants "I'm very, very, very, very hungry".....  So a bed time snack is now on the routine....

Thursday he got his first pool therapy and he really liked it.  The pool is very warm and it looked very inviting.  Donovan really liked it and he walked, swam and worked on his leg movement.

Walking in the pool with ease!

Working on leg kicks and stretching!
