Today was the day mom was to attend some training by the PT / OT team on assisting Dad.  It was pretty minimal, because Dad requires a minimum of assistance these days!   Dad walked using his walker to the elevator and then to the gym on the first floor, where he demonstrated his stair climbing and descending skills,  learned some new approaches for getting in and out of the car,  and also did 10 minutes on the contraption below.  After a brief rest, he walked back to his room.

He will be going home on Wednesday, October 19.  We are all thrilled with the progress he’s made, and looking forward to his return to 175 Danbury!
