Making Progress!!!

Dad seems to be making progress in physical therapy! A week or so ago he got a brace for the left ankle to keep his left foot from dragging when he walks. It seems to be helping a lot, he walks much better with it. He's been able to start putting weight on his left leg when he walks, which he wasn't able to do before. Dad also feels like his shoulder is getting stronger, in therapy they've been doing exercises with him on all fours and he's a lot more stable and his able to raise his right hand five times, putting all the weight on his left hand. The physical therapist is thinking that the swelling must be going down since he's making such great improvements.

The Avastin seems to be helping, Dad hasn't showed any symptoms or reactions since starting and with the improvements in therapy, hopefully he continues to improve.

We were able to get a family picture with Mom's side of the family over Easter weekend, think our last family picture was when I was in high school!!
