Many thanks to our August volunteers who helped to get Adam to his various activities. You give him opportunities that other wise might not exist! He continues working towards his goals. His physical therapist has okayed him walking steps, uneven areas and long distances but now she ups the anti by adding a 20 pound vest to resemble a back pack. His speech theapist is having him prepare an oral presentation and the occupational therapist continues to work at mulitasking and ways to compensate for his short term memory problems (like using a palm pilot at all times). At Strides for Success he took on quite a challenge in giving Fletch (a quarter horse) a bath and some medicine on a sore foot. On his visit to his neuro optometrist this week it was decided to put a new lense in the left side of his glasses. He still sees double both horizontally and vertically. He reads with one eye to alleviate this problem. As the weather turns cooler for at least a little while we hope to get outside for a hike and some biking. And one last piece of good news not related to therapy but related to Adam--his sister, Annie, is engaged to an energetic, kind, and wonderful young man named Michael. We contiue to pray both for petitions and to give thanks-- The Lord is Good!
