Working hard!

Greg thought boot camp was tough but he never had to get by OT, PT and everyone else! So today he hit some milestones:  no more vent, eating lunch with cool brace and fork attachment, brushing teeth, sitting on the edge of the bed and holding himself for a few seconds. He had a double on PT and the second session was all strength training. For Greg just bending as if doing a bicep curl and slowly unfolding 15 times is a truly a workout. But that was just the first exercise-he had a full hour to go. But don't worry he had a bit of a massage as a reward at the end.

 I think the toughest part of today was the emotions that went along with each success. Sometimes when you think outside our 4 walls, it can be overwhelming to think about what you are doing and for Greg what you are not doing. But I have to tell you something about Greg Lemos, he is amazing. Through the tears and effort, he tells jokes and gets everyone laughing, even himself. Greg has always made me laugh each day and today was no different. The way we live our life may have changed dramatically, but Greg has not changed.
