Dad finally had a visit from the speech and occupational therapists today! Hooray! The physical therapist evaluated Dad yesterday and will being working with him next week. He is supposed to see each therapist 3 times per week for at least an hour.
This is opening weekend of deer season and Danny and Ollie's hunting lease is near Marble Falls. After meeting at their deer camp this morning, Danny and Ollie paid Mom and Dad a visit this afternoon! They got to meet the speech therapist and watch her (?) work with Dad. Afterward, the guys helped Dad get into the golf cart and Dad drove it all over their property! Yes, I said DAD DROVE!!! Danny sat on one side of Dad and Ollie on the other and had him steer with his left hand and use his left foot for the gas pedal!!! They said that Dad really loved that! Can you imagine his feeling of independence?! That's the best kind of therapy Dad can get!!!
Dad also tried three different times to say something to Ollie and Danny! He actually tried to use his voice, which is a huge step in progress!!! We have faith that he will regain the use of his right side and his speech!
"...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20
