After a few difficult weeks, we wanted to let you know that we are doing well and celebrating life. Rob’s family is also doing well, and although everyone is sad, there is also hope in the future.
Rob has been able to stand for a short amount of time unassisted. Here is a short video clip of Rob talking about standing (in Dutch). He is still struggling with getting his left side moving more, but is making improvements on his strength and dexterity every day. He has a great physio-therapist named Werner de Haan from Praktijk Andijk, who is very motivated and working hard with Rob in a very positive way. The goal is to get him walking, but it will still take some time.
Next week we have a visit to the rehabilitation center at the WFG hospital (same as where he was before) so Rob can continue with other therapies to help get him into action more. We are also investigating alternative therapies and new therapies, and hope between all of them, Rob can get to where he wants to be. Overall, we could not be more pleased with the progress he is making since he came home from Heliomare in mid-January.
Today we started all of our seedlings for our garden. We are very excited to see what might grow…
