Spence had a bunch of cool things happen today. he was able to move his knee a couple of different ways. the first was when he walked during PT. he usually does a "hip swing" where he takes a step with his good right leg and then would swing his hip so the bad left leg would catch up. the therapists would help extend and plant the left leg to a steady position so he could start the process again for the next step. today he was able to do a knee swing where the process is the same but he did the swing further down the leg. the next thing he did was kick me with his left leg while lying down. this was pretty cool to see the movement,although put that on my list of things he is getting away with now but will be paying for in the future. spence also could provide resistance when you pushed on his lower left leg. he also had movement in his left thumb today, not a whole lot but something. OMG he wants to wake that left arm and hand so bad!!
Day by Day, Little by Little he is getting there.
