Another good day for the big D-Man. He played air hockey for two of his four PT sessions (and one Thomas) with with me and won both times. While he was playing, his PT spotted him, however, he stood tall and proud, much on his own, as he pounded the puck into the goal. With little assistance he reached the puck and when he scored, threw his arms in the air and yelled his complete dominance over dad (and at the same time telling me to let him win!). He had no trouble supporting himself and was very much a happy Donovan. We need to continue building his strength, coordination and balance, but he is making wonderful progress.
His is getting stronger by the day while eating and sleeping well. Donovan continued his string of magic and charmed yet another set of nurses and therapists who all agreed he is a very special and determined boy. Dad and Mom couldn't be happier!
