not much going on medically during the weekend. a little speech therapy,a little occupational therapy. i believe there was alot of emotional therapy though. to the friends who visited this weekend that was wonderful, spence seems to perk up so much when you guys are around. but do forgive his bluntness. i guess we have to make a rule that what he says at spaulding rehab stays at spaulding rehab.
a couple of his favorites things (isn't that a disney song) are when his mother and i read him his cards or when we read the comments from the blog. spence can get into a wheelchair (in fact they encourage it) and make it to the common room where they have a computer. it is still dial up but he can't wait to hear the well wishes. that being said, if you haven't left a message in awhile now is a good time, and those who haven't please do so. if you are worried that he doesn't know you, it does not matter, a little message can explain. (i.e. from thelma's quilting group,etc etc).
and of course lastly,keep the prayers and positive thoughts going.

Dear Spencer, Donna and Dave,
This blog is terrific for those of us who want to know how Spencer is doing, but don't want to inundate you all with calls. My daily thoughts and prayers are with you all! You are now at such a critical point in this journey. Therapies can be tough and frustrating, but totally worth the hard work. You have always been such a bright person, Spencer, you will master this as well as you have other things in your life!
Donna, remember that Mike is a PT down in MD and would be happy to talk to you anytime. God bless everyone, and I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery !

Hey Spencer,
This is Wendy Waldron's sister, Kim (aka Auntie K). I have been reading your blog daily and celebrating every minute of your recovery. I work as an RN at Caritas Norwood Hospital. Every weekend I come in, I get dozens of inquiries on your progress from our doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and secretaries. I have your blog site on the computer at the Hospital so we can read how you are doing. All of my colleagues are pulling for you and you are in our prayers. You are getting there Spence.
