Josh Chandler Update

Update: 7/27/06

Good evening to all. I hope that you are having a good Thursday - it's almost the weekend - you can make it!
Josh had a pretty good day. He participated to the best of his ability today by trying to do everything that was asked of him. Today he sat up in his chair for 6 hours. Now mind you he is reclining a little and he takes cat naps, but at least he was out of the bed. He went down to their gym today for physical therapy and they stretched out his back and worked alot on his muscles. They even tried to play a little soccer with him and he attempted to roll it back, but it's a start. All the therapy is really wearing him out, but it is stimulating his brain and muscles so that they can heal.
Josh is getting all fancy on us! He got an air mattress for his bed and he has a wheelchair they are sortof customizing to fit his needs. The mattress helps to relieve pressure to his body while lying in bed since he can't turn himself and by him sitting up in the chair it helps to work his abdominal and neck muscles by strengthening them.
I pray you all have a wonderful Friday. Until next time.
