Fletcher's Wednesday was jammed pack. He had his acupuncture session as mentioned in yesterday's blog, but also worked with his Occupational therapist, did swimming, and walked the locomat. This time on the locomat they allowed him to walk with 75% of his own weight. It felt a little different. Fletcher said he didn't realize how heavy he was.
While with his OC (occupational therapist) Fletcher practiced putting his eye contacts in and then taking them out. Well, guess what?!! He did so well that they will be filming him today as he performs this task. The film will be used as a training video for other quadriplegics to show them it can be done. Since Fletcher doesn't have use of his fingers this was an incredible task to accomplish! Great work Fletcher!! You know mom will be filming as they film Fletcher, so stay tune for the video post.
Fletcher next hit the pool for more physical therapy which really tired him out. He swam a full lap floating on his back...another not so easy task!!!! He then finished the afternoon with his acupuncture session and then it was lights out for him once home. It was a long day but it revealed many great things.
Keep praying and keep the faith on GOD's plan.
