PRAISE GOD GIVE HIM THE GLORY .... NO torn rotator cuff!!!!! Dr. Weintraub said that they will do physical therapy and anti-inflamitory with the sublexation (seperation of the shoulder) to correct it. In OT/PT today he bent his RIGHT wrist 'up' again AND he bent his RIGHT elbow!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!! His speech therapist told him he was doing fantastic and he goes, PRAISE GOD!! "He" even recognizes who is healing him! While on the EZ Stand today he quoted Ps 23 with me. He told Jess that his favorite scripture passage is Ps 63 .... she was reading to him and then proceeded to read his favorite passage. He was graduated to a 'Quickee two' wheel chair ... it is a more 'independent' chair in that he can maneuver it right now with his feet and eventually with both arms .... His speech is improving all the time. He sounds more like himself every day. He continues to do VERY WELL with his eating .... however, he stopped drinking his milk to read the label (calories, fat etc) ... he is still health conscience with his eating I guess .... He met with Dr Berry again today ... he had Dwight spell world frontwards AND backwards and Dwight did it PERFECTLY!!! He also said a series of four numbers and had Dwight repeat them backwards ... and he did it PERFECTLY ... he did several series of numbers for Dwight to repeat and he did beautifully.. His speech therapist had him follow instructions today and he did it 100% .... OT had him count the money again and he did it 100% .... now they know the r-cuff is not torn they will begin agressive therapy with that arm! In PT they 'stood' him and supported him next to none and he stood there reaching for beanbags and tossing them into the bucket for nearly ten minutes! He amazes his therapists! It will be fun to hear the assessments of everyone on Monday at our family conference. Keep those prayers rollin' !! THANX! May God find us faithful! joan for us 4

1 Cor 2:5 "so that 'our' faith should not rest on the wisdom of men BUT on the POWER OF GOD" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
