It has been just over 6 months since James' accident.  I have been too busy to really think about that though!  he has been doing awesome at his therapies.  In the last week and a half he has graduated from the parellel bars in physio to being assisted in the U Step walker.  Each time he has a session in it he gets a bit better at it.  He sent his first text by himself this week too!  He is getting pretty good at typing on the ipad.  He is needing less assistance with his transfers too.  He gets himself up and mostly just needs support for balance.  He seems to working on wrapping some of the nurses around his little finger too.  Last week he convinced the night staff to get him up at 5:30 am to play video games.  Yesterday morning it was 3:30 am!  When the morning nurse came in she put him back to bed for a couple of hours.  He still did great in his therapies though.
