Notes from Ruthie

More physical therapy today. Louie continues to improve slowly, walking with the walker,sitting, and strengthening his arms by rolling the wheelchair. If you have ever had a little stiffness getting up in the morning or felt a bit weak or dizzy when rising, multiply those feelings times 7 months. I'm filled with admiration for anyone who undergoes this process. It is grueling. Instant gratification has no part in this! However, the rewards---the joy of playing with the grandchildren, the opportunity to dance again, and the chance to walk two more daughters down the aisle, are true incentives. Sometimes it's hard to "keep your eyes on the prize" but he perseveres. Pray for strength, patience ,and increased endurance. He will continue to make us all proud.

Love to all,
Ruthie
