Ryan is feeding himself delicious toffee ice cream and black raspberry chip ice cream courtesy of his Jensen cousins from Cincinnati. Thank you! Thank you!
Today's highlights:
Ryan received a phone call from Brother Merv Arnold, the Area President in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Diane Paynter knows Brother Arnold and emailed him about Ryan's accident. George Paynter is the "concrete" man who helped Ryan enormously on his Eagle project. Ryan really enjoyed visiting with Brother Arnold!
Ryan got a new manual wheel chair today. It is a "quickie" with red chrome and he will be able to do wheelies on it by himself (in due time)!
Ryan had further sensory testing today and was in his wheel chair longer than he has ever been, close to three and one-half hours. Tonight was quad rugby in the gym but Ryan was too tired to go down and watch. They play rugby every Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:30. Ryan is looking forward to participating!
Ryan's middle finger on his left hand has begun moving with his ring finger and pinky finger. We are excited each day to see the improvements he is making.
James and Stacey Meyer helped Ryan with his physical therapy this morning. We encourage you to also visit Ryan during therapy sessions when he is most active and happy!
Eileen Goulding and her son, Troy, also visited us today. Troy is a graduate of Craig Rehabilitation Hospital. He sustained his injury 13 years ago in a diving accident. They showed us their wheelchair accessible van. Troy will soon get a new van that he will be able to drive his wheelchair into and drive with his hands. The innovations they have for quads is amazing!
Ryan is very optomistic and happy to hear about Troy's adjustment to life away from Craig.
