Rehab day like 400!!! Not really!

Talked with Adam tonight and will share a bit from him about his therapy today. He said that he had to do a bunch of balance exercises this afternoon on the balance ball. He also had some kind of exercise where the walls and floors moved, so he had to concentrate on balancing during the movement. He said that he tried to concentrate on other things to get through this exercise, but his therapists said that he is doing VERY well! He had speech therapy with another rehab participant today and he said that that guy is way worse off than what Adam was. But he could pick up on what the guy was having problems with. That's great that he's picking up on this stuff! He said his shoulder works with much less pain than before, even though he still has some and his range of motion is way better than before. After talking with his therapists, he realizes how lucky he is to only have a few little issues to work on after having a brain injury like him. He really is a lucky ducky and the MAN upstairs was really watching over him! He's getting closer each and everyday to being home. I absolutely CANNOT wait! I know that it has to be much harder for him to "wait" but I can't either! Thank you all again, for all your support! You are all wonderful!
