day #3 at shepherds pathways

A note from dad...

The day was sunny and warm! You could break a sweat today!

His breakfast consisted of Fruit Loops, a granola bar and mountain dew. Ah! Life is good!

Adam and I sat outside for lunch today. He enjoyed the warmth of the sun and was more talkative today! He had ARBY’s and two Dunkin Donuts and a soda. Not a scrap of food left!

Adam seems to have a more positive attitude today, but still questions his therapists…but there is nothing wrong with that!

He told me that he rode a stationary bike today in therapy and racked up 1.3 miles. He was proud of that! He said it felt good! He did several heal to toe exercises. He told me that he did well in the “mat” class on mobility and his word/picture associations went very well! He went shopping this afternoon at the grocery to get food for next week’s breakfast and lunch. Purchases did included Mountain Dew and believe it or not fruit!

One of his therapists told him they would try and schedule swimming for him next week. He said he was looking forward to that! It sounds like Dad is going to attend some classes with him next week also...

Our evening together consisted of joining the group for dinner and spending some father and son time together. We sat outside enjoying the warm weather while he did his laundry. We finished the evening watching TV.

If you check out yesterdays post, you will also see a post from Adam under comments! So exciting to see. Biz and I landed in Knoxville, TN about 12:30am last night. The drive went very smoothly, pretty consistent traffic, but no traffic jams! We'll finish the rest this morning after we get moving!

Again everyone, thank you for your continued prayers and support for Adam and our family. The support has been overwhelming (but a good overwhelming). I just can't help but think that our community is absolutely one of the best around! Can't wait to update you all on what everything is like when I get there today!
