Another Great Day

Today Matt had another 3 hours of physical therapy. It was another successful day. He did something new today too so that was very exciting. Matt was able to lift his arm up to grab and touch. Normally he moves his arm and hand from side to side but to actually lift it up to the ceiling is a little harder. But today he was able to do it, and once he got the hang of it he just kept lifting his arm up. It was really neat. We also gave him a small basketball and held the hoop out in front of him and told him to put the ball in the hoop. He did! He's really doing well with the commands and following through with what we ask him to do.
After that we got him onto his bench and had him sitting up. Once he was sitting Matt just held his head up and was able to balance himself. With no help. We had he standing too and he's getting so much better with his posture and holding his head up high when he's standing. He looked so good today standing up. He was so tall! Matt is also really starting to put more pressure on his left foot now too. His left side is a little slower than his right, the left side also does not have as much sensation as the right. It is getting a little better but his right side will do whatever you want it to.
