Al shares the excitement of something returning!!!! As he was preparing
for bed the other night he was able to wiggle his left great toe. He
got so excited he called the whole family to come see---he said he never
thought he would ever be so excited over just wiggling a toe.
As you know from his letter, Al was home for Thanksgiving. It was so
nice to see him here, but it still breaks my heart to see him try to
walk with his crutches. However; so thankful that he has progressed to
that point. He tries not to use the chair unless very tired or when he
goes outside, and at work. We think he is making progress, but he has
to walk very slow. It seems he has to concentrate so hard to make those
legs go forward---something those of us without TM take for granted. Al
also tried driving the other day on their trip home (first time!)--they
left Fri. when the traffic was not so heavy--just drove a short while---
said it really felt good. Does anyone know,--will he have to take a
driving test before he drives again??
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My prayers remain with you all,
Mom Connie
