But all in all he is doing well .

Journal entry by Brock Lesperance —

It’s been awhile since I have written an update on Mark's recovery.  He has worked very hard over the five months of physical, occupational and speech therapy.  He has been released by Advent Health Waterman's outpatient rehab.  He has lots of homework to keep him busy.  

Today we took a short trip on the boat and he really enjoyed it.  He has taken a few short drives in town with me in the car.  He feels well, but tires pretty easily.  He is now able to read light books, which he really enjoys.

The effects of the stroke have created a bit of a new normal for us, but we are blessed by the progress.

Much love,

Brock
