A quick update

Today we picked out a shower chair-again I ask, who knew what this was all about. So, we get trunk side support, leg support, a mesh type chair that can be tightened or loosened depending on needed support. And then of course is the cushion, which come in 3 different directions. These type of decisions is one of the reasons why we came to Spaulding. The expert therapists have much needed advice and experience to share with us to make the right decisions about the equipment we need.

Greg has started using light weights on his left and right arms, he is able to hold his head straighter, he is eating easier and breather stronger. Little by little, day by day. He is a fighter and I am impressed by his strength. This doesn't mean he never goes to a darker, sadder place, but what is impressive is his willingness to take my hand, to be team Lemos/Lesser, to let the sadness wash over him and let it go. We are strong together and will bring this home with us so that we can build a new life together.
