Keith's Evaluation

Just a quick update since Keith finally made it to Magee Rehab 
yesterday for an evaluation before starting his first outpatient rehab 
in a facility since he was discharged on 10/4.

Since the last time they evaluated him a couple of months ago he has 
substantially increased his arm strength and range. He increased his 
right side 5 degrees and his left side 10 degrees. He can pretty much 
put his arms over his head which is something the first doctor and that 
hell hole Atlanti-Care never thought he would be able to do. He also 
has increased movement a couple of fingers and his core area. Magee is 
very pleased with his progress especially taking into consideration it 
was all accomplished at home. He will be going twice a week for the 
next 8 weeks and then I guess it gets re-evaluated from there.

His standing glider has been approved so he will be able to do more at 
home.

Thank you all for your love and support and prayers. His miracle 
appears to be a very slow and steady one but as long as it gets him to 
the finish line we can live with that.

Keith Update

We are now approaching ten months since Keith's accident. Where has the 
time gone.

Some exciting things - Keith gets evaluated by Magee outpatient and 
hopefully schedules some appointments for outpatient rehab on 3/21. He 
also got approved for his own standing glider so he will be able to 
work out his legs at home. Still working the system on the outpatient 
surgery for his wound. He received his electric wheelchair and they are 
making some adjustments to it for positive reasons - they removed the 
support in the middle because his core is coming back and removed the 
heavily padded arm rests because he has good arm movement which is 
continuing to improve.

Kristen said Keith's arms and hands are continuing to improve. The 
progress is slow but steady. He has some movement in his thumb and 
index finger in his right hand and that continues to improve slowly and 
the hope is more stim at Magee will move that progress along.

Thanks for all your hopes and prayers. Keep them coming.
