Today is Sept 4, 2012, exactly 3 months since Max had that nasty cluster seizure and went into that coma. A lot has changed but the one thing that hasn't changed at all is that Max continues to amaze me each and every day!
Today he learned how to move his cart on his own! He's been working really hard and getting that cart to move. He still hasn't mastered steering but that's OK! He's able to get himself to where he wants to go (for the most part now!) When I call him, he responds! Today when the dogs went to bark at the window when the mailman arrived, he started to try and roll his cart over to where they were too!
His Eddie's Wheels Cart has been amazing! I wish I had had this from the very beginning. I think Max just being in a standing position where he can have full range of motion of all of his legs in a natural position has really made a HUGE difference! His cart has also been something that stimulates his mind and his body to work and heal. The one thing I know about Max is that he never gives up.. and he's just showing me that every single day! It's amazing to think where we were 3 months ago and where we are today! We still have a ways to go, but he has some independence back and that's a huge thing for him! He can go potty when he wants without worrying about messing on himself, and he can now move on his own... now if he'd just eat out of a bowl and a whole meal!

Hi Max, They make traction booties that may help on the wood floor, or see how he does on a carpet runner. The wood doesn't provide much traction and maybe this could help him? Keep going Max, and feel better
ReplyDeleteGood job, Max! Moving right along slowly but surely. Chris, it was fun to see Max get his second wind on your "one, two, three...". Give Max some ear skritches for us. Dude and Dude's Mom
