Resilience, endurance, hard work... these were the words to describe Doug's continued progress at QLI by his care team today.  He never ceases to amaze me in his ability to persevere and his tenacity.  It is hard to believe almost 8 months ago, we were uncertain if we would ever have any meaningful interactions with him, hear his laugh, see him smile, witness his incredible sense of humor... but here we are!  Only a few weeks ago we were unsure how mobile he would be - would he walk unassisted or always need support?  Now he walks unassisted and without his braces.  He also has BIKED 181 MILES and made it on the wall of fame at QLI! As he prepares to head home the end of this month, it will not be without challenges and set backs but WOW IS HE READY and IN A GOOD PLACE!    Thank you to the many people who helped make those extra few weeks possible - we are forever grateful.  He will continue with PT/OT and speech therapy once he is home but he is anxious to start the next chapter and get back to work!
